Chicken Florentine Pesto Pasta

Serves: 6 Save

Ingredients (12)

  • 12 ounces dried short pasta (bowties, penne, gemelli, etc)
  • 4 chicken breast cutlets (1 to 1 1/2 pounds total)
  • Salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped, about 1 cup
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine or stock
  • 8-16 ounces of fresh spinach*, washed, long stems removed and chopped
  • Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup (or more) pesto
  • *To wash spinach, fill up a clean sink basin with cold water and let the spinach soak in the water. Move it around a bit to loosen any dirt. Fresh spinach is usually pretty dirty, so you may need to do a couple of soakings. Remove the spinach and shake off excess water. Lay the spinach leaves down on a clean towel and pat dry.:
