Chicken, Spinach and Sun Dried Tomato Pasta in a Mascarpone Cream Sauce

This is a delicious and fairly quick recipe. It took me about 30 minutes to make. You can substitute the spinach for basil and/or the chicken for shrimp.

What You Will Need

Makes 2 servings

3 Chicken Tenderloins
1 tbsp Crushed Garlic (or 1 clove of garlic)

1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Sun Dried Tomato
3 cups Spinach
1 1/2 cup Dried Pasta of Your Choice

For the Sauce:
4 oz Mascarpone
1 tbsp Butter or Margarine
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan
Dash of Nutmeg

What To Do

Step 1: Boil a pot of water. Once the water is boiling add the dry pasta.

Step 2: Heat up the olive oil and garlic in a pan on Medium heat. Once it is hot (about 1 minute) add the chicken. While the chicken cooks wash and chop the spinach. When the chicken is cooked remove it  from the pan, cut into pieces and place back in the pan on Medium-Low heat. Add the spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Cook until the spinach is wilted. 

Step 3: Heat the butter/margarine on Medium-Low heat until it is melted and starting to bubble. Add the mascarpone. Stir until the mascarpone has melted. Take the pan off the heat and add the grated Parmesan, stirring frequently. Once the Parmesan has melted stir in a dash of nutmeg.

Step 4: Drain the pasta. Mix the pasta, mascarpone cream sauce and chicken mixture. Enjoy!
