Shop key ingredients:
Method
- Cook pasta to packet instructions; reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- Sear chicken in olive oil over high heat for 3 minutes per side until golden, then remove.
- Saute garlic in the same pan, add cream and reduce slightly.
- Stir in parmesan, lemon juice, spinach and pasta water until the sauce is silky.
- Slice chicken, place over pasta and serve immediately.
Kitchen note: Do not skip the pasta water — it makes the sauce silkier than extra cream ever could.
