Who would've thought that I like spinach? I was always grossed out by cooked spinach as a child, but have really grown to love raw spinach. I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to like cooked spinach. I WILL NOT, repeat WILL NOT, eat cooked spinach alone. That grosses me out. But when it's mixed in with food it is definitely ok. I found this Spaghetti recipe on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. Plus I made it my own by adding red pepper and cooked leftover chicken. I love pasta and it looked really quick and easy to make on a week night. Here ya go:
Spaghetti w/ Spinach, Garlic and Lemon
1 pound Pasta (I used rotini)
6 T Olive Oil
8 Garlic Cloves (yup, you'll have some bad breath afterwards)
1 Lemon, juiced
10 oz bag of Baby Spinach (I only had about 5 oz, it was definitely enough)
1/2 Red Pepper
1 Chicken Breast
In a skillet, heat 6 T olive oil over medium-low heat. Add Garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes. Add Lemon Juice, salt and pepper to taste.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta, transfer to a large bowl. Immediately add spinach, chopped Red Pepper, and Chopped Chicken (cooked obviously) and Lemon-Oil mixture. Toss well, serve!
Very delicious, healthy, and quick to put together :)
