Chicken florentine pasta
To be completely honest, I can't think of a food I crave more often than Pasta. Like really, I don't know if it's because of the endless possibilities of mixing and matching delicious ingredients or if it's just because anyone can make their favorite homemade pasta at home. Our favorite Spring 2017 pasta is definitely this incredibly creamy Pasta with golden pan fried chicken, homegrown baby spinach, carefully prepared sun - dried tomatoes (which are surprisingly still sweet). Double cream is not heavy at all, the opposite, it gives this dish that delicious creaminess. To top it off we added some freshly squeezed lemon juice. Ah, perfect. Made in less 30 minutes. Simple, delicious, affordable, creamy - just the perfect midweek lunch or dinner.
