Main Ingredients- 1 bunch Spinach (about 1 large handful)
- 1.5 paper cups Milk (approx. 270ml)
- 1 serving Pasta (about 1 handful)
- 5-7 Chicken Breast Meatballs
- 1 handful Cocktail Shrimp
- 2 Shiitake Mushrooms
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 pinch Coarse Salt
- 2 slices Processed Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the roots of the fresh spinach and wash it thoroughly under running water several times. Place the washed spinach into a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add 1 pinch of coarse salt and 1.5 paper cups (about 270ml) of milk to the blender with the spinach. Blend until you achieve a smooth spinach sauce. Blend until a smooth sauce forms.
Step 3
Pour the prepared spinach sauce into a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken breast meatballs to cook.
Step 4
Once the chicken meatballs are partially cooked, add the cleaned cocktail shrimp and continue to simmer.
Step 5
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms (after removing the stems). Reduce the heat to low and let the ingredients simmer gently and meld together.
Step 6
In another pot, bring a generous amount of water to a boil and add a pinch of coarse salt. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions. (It’s best to undercook slightly as it will continue to cook in the sauce).
Step 7
Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly to the pot with the spinach sauce. Place 2 slices of processed cheese on top. Stir gently over low heat until the cheese melts, the sauce thickens, and a creamy consistency is achieved. Your healthy and delicious spinach cream pasta is ready to be enjoyed warm!
