Ingredients | Creamy Spinach Shrimp Pasta Tasty

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow-tie) pasta

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup dry white wine (Optional)

3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

1 lemon, zested and juiced, divided

½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup sour cream

2 cups chicken stock, or more as needed

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish or 9x13-inch pan.

Slice or cube chicken and season lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook farfalle at a boil, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and lemon juice and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Don't allow garlic to brown.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add cream cheese, stirring until melted and blended. Add flour to sour cream, mix well, and stir into the pan. Add chicken stock, parsley, thyme, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer until slightly thickened. Add more stock if sauce is too thick. Remove from heat.

Add 1/2 cup Parmesan and lemon zest, stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add partially cooked farfalle and blend well. Pour into the prepared baking or casserole pan and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes more.

You can use any pasta of your choice, Neufchatel instead of cream cheese, light or fat-free sour cream instead of regular, and white pepper instead of black.

Use 2 1/4 cups of chicken stock if not using wine.

Can substitute 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp for chicken, or keep meat free. If adding veggies, add to the pan after wine. Asparagus and broccoli make great additions.
