I saw this recipe on the My Happy Meals blog, and knew I had to give it a try. Molly has yet to let me down with the dishes I've tried on her blog, so when I saw this dish it seemed to simple that I went for it! Honestly, the one thing that I was hesitant about was the fact that it is a pasta dish without any creamy sauces. I didn't think it would have much favor, but again it was just so fast and simple that I gave it a try and I'm so glad that I did.
I made half with chicken and the other half with spinach. Darnell LOVED it, and I also made it for my mom one time she came into town. She said it was delicious! Now, it is a dish that stays in the rotation.
I've also tried this dish with shrimp instead of chicken to change it up. Again, it was well received!
I couldn't find the picture I took when I prepare it, so here is a picture from Molly's blog :)
Ingredients
