Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups ditalini
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
Freshly ground pepper
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup shredded gruyère cheese
Toasted breadcrumbs, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and thyme and cook until softened. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes, then whisk in the broth and milk. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken, spinach and pasta and cook to heat through. Stir in the gruyère and season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with toasted breadcrumbs.
