Healthier Chicken Spinach Alfredo #dinner #pasta

Help up great Fettuccine Alfredo with this simple chicken spinach alfredo pasta formula! Prepared in 30 minutes with no overwhelming cream.

ALFREDOOOOOOO. Is there anything superior to anything pasta that is suffocating in spread and cream and cheddar and more cheddar? I think not. Is there anything more terrible for that New Year's Diet Resolution you're claiming to keep? Most likely likewise not.

I helped up this smooth, cheddar y spinach alfredo sauce by nixing the cream inside and out and rather utilizing a roux with skim milk. Chicken and spinach include some protein and some shading to the blend, lastly we slim the sauce out a bit by reusing a portion of our decent, boring pasta water.

Helped up, still-smooth, even-has-spinach-so-it's-fundamentally wellbeing sustenance, 30 minute chicken spinach Alfredo, at your administration.

Lighten up a classic Fettuccine Alfredo recipe with this easy pasta recipe! Ready in 30 minutes with no heavy cream. A great healthy recipe for busy weeknights.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. penne pasta
• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 Tbsp. all purpose flour
• 2 cups skim milk
• 2 Tbsp. light cream cheese
• 1.5 cups parmesan cheese
• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the penne in very salty water until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant and cooked through, about 2 minutes.
3. Add flour to butter and whisk to combine and form a roux. Let roux cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add milk a little at a time, whisking constantly to work out any lumps. Milk will thicken up quickly at the beginning, but as you whisk the rest of the milk in it will loosen the sauce.
5. Cook sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 6 minutes.
6. Add cream cheese and whisk until cheese has melted.
7. Remove sauce from heat and stir in parmesan cheese, shredded chicken, and spinach into sauce. Stir until cheese has melted.
8. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as necessary.
9. Add cooked pasta to sauce and stir until the sauce evenly coats the noodles. Serve immediately.

NOTES
You can decrease the amount of butter and flour here to 2 Tbsp. each if you want to lighten this recipe up even more, but you’ll need to cook the sauce longer so it still has a chance to thicken properly.
