Chicken Florentine
I love to incorporate different flavors in pasta, ad always aim to sneak vegetables in when I can! This one is so simple and has over 40 grams of protein in 1 serving.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 package mushrooms
- 6 slices hickory smoked bacon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 5 oz spinach
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 5.3 oz cottage cheese Good Culture
- 1 cup milk (skin or 2% fair life)
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 box pasta, prepared according to label
- salt, pepper, garlic powder
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet, remove from pan on paper towel and drain the grease.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter. Add red onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked down. Add in the white wine.
- While that is simmering, make the sauce. In a blender add cottage cheese, cream cheese, milk, parmesan, garlic cloves, and a little bit of salt pepper and garlic. Blend until combined.
- Add corn starch to the onions and mushrooms. Stir until well combined. Add the spinach and sauce. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the cooked pasta.
- Continue to cook until the same is thickened and spinach is wilted. Enjoy!
Notes
Sometimes I add some red pepper flakes on top for a little bit of a kick, I also add a few ounces of grilled chicken.
