Ingredients
-
1- 8 oz pkg of fresh mushrooms
1 lg scallion
12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2 lg or 4 small)
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1- 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
1- 12 oz pkg frozen spinach
1- 13.25 oz pkg whole grain thin spaghetti
8- T shredded parmesan cheese (1/2 cup + 2 T)
Directions
Assemble the ingredients. Put water on to boil in large pot for spaghetti, adding salt and a few drops of olive oil to keep from sticking. Slice mushrooms and scallion. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces, about 1/2" each. Put spinach in collander and rinse off any ice crystals; drain.
When water comes to a boil, drop in the spaghetti and cook until done to your liking, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on it and check for doneness when it looks about ready.
Heat 12" skillet with the olive oil over med-high heat (do not let oil smoke). When hot, saute mushrooms and scallions, stirring frequently about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper or whatever seasonings you like and continue stirring about another 3 minutes, until chicken is also lightly browned. Add the jar of spaghetti sauce and the drained, raw ,frozen spinach. Let sauce come to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook about 10 minutes. Check a piece of chicken to be sure it is cooked thoroughly.
Spaghetti should be done about the same time as sauce. Drain spaghetti in collander and rinse with hot water (this takes away a lot of the starch but keeps pasta warm). Put back in pot over med-low heat to keep warm while you are getting everything else ready. Leave sauce on low heat as well. You want to serve this HOT!
Spoon sauce over spaghetti and sprinkle a tablespoon of shredded parmesan over the top.
Makes about 8 2-cup servings.
