This is a great dish you may consider making for your significant other tonight! I used to do a lot of mentoring when I lived in Tucson years ago and the young lady I had the most contact with actually reached out to me recently asking for the recipe because she had enjoyed it so much. It was fast and easy to make on top of being obviously memorably delicious!
Serves: 6
Total Time: 1h 15m
Ingredients:
20 Jumbo pasta shells
1 Cup plain cream cheese (softened)
1 Cup of parmesan cheese
2 Cups of fresh Spinach
½ Cup dried basil
½ Cup of mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp of lemon juice
1 Jar of plain red pasta/ tomato sauce
3 Boneless chicken breast filets
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or tender; drain. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine chicken and spinach. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and season with lemon.
In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, basil, parmesan cheese, chicken, and spinach together. In a 9 x 13 baking pan, pour half of the red pasta or tomato sauce. Spoon chicken/cheese mixture into each pasta shell and place shells on in the sauce in baking pan. Once all shells have been filled and placed, cover everything with the rest of the tomato/ pasta sauce. Place in oven and cook for 25 minutes. Once finished, pull the pan out and cover in the remaining mozzarella cheese. Place pan back in the oven and cook for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
