A quick, easy at-home meal that will satisfy your craving for Italian restaurant food
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts (1/2 per serving)
1 bag cheese tortellini noodles
1½ C. fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
½ jar Alfredo sauce
1 C. half and half (to thin the sauce)
½ container Gorzonzola cheese crumbles
½ C. chopped walnuts
1 red pepper, sliced (optional)
¼ C. diced Roma tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Prepare tortellini noodles per bag instructions. Meanwhile, saute the spinach and red peppers in 1 Tbsp. of butter. Add the Alfredo sauce. Next, add the walnuts, gorgonzola crumbles, and diced tomatoes. I grilled my chicken breast on my George Foreman grill. I didn't add the red peppers and tomatoes this time because I didn't have them, but the original restaurant version includes them. Add the cooked tortellini noodles to the sauce. Slice ½ chicken breast and add to the top of the noodles and serve. Serves 4.
Note: I really "eyeballed" the quantities on this recipe. You may want to adjust according to your taste - but it's really yummy, quick, and easy too!
