Florentine is a fancy name for foods served with spinach. Take your pesto pasta a notch by adding spinach and grilled chicken as aside, you’ll be easily transported to an Italian countryside cafe!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 1/2 tablespoons pesto
2 tablespoons olive oil or chilli oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons fresh cream
1 cup spinach leaves
250g Pasta Joy linguine pasta
Salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water until done, roughly 8 minutes. Pasta must be al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add pesto, onion, spinach and salt and pepper. Cook about five minutes, or until onions are soft. Swirl in cream and bring to a slight boil.
Add pasta into the pot and swirl around in pesto sauce until coated. Adjust seasoning and stir in grated cheese. Serve alongside grilled chicken breasts.
