Matt's Thrive Chicken Spinach Pasta Supreme




My son, Matt, is starting to experiment in the kitchen with our Thrive products.  Here's one of his favorite creations.  I stood over his shoulder today while he made it and made him measure things so I could write down a recipe.  Try it yourself -- it is delicious!

Matt's Main Thrive Ingredients
Note:  FD – Freeze Dried
Stock Number after Thrive products are for Pantry Size Cans

Ingredients:

4 cups water
1 teaspoon Thrive Salt (#22668)
1 pantry can Thrive Rainbow Farfalle Pasta (#22138)
1/2 cup Thrive FD Chopped Chicken (#22567)
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup Thrive FD Spinach (#22234)
1 cup Thrive Instant Milk, reconstituted (#22446)
3 Tablespoons Thrive Veloute Sauce (#22601)
1 Tablespoon Thrive Tomato Sauce (#22604)

Matt's Thrive Sauce Ingredients


Directions:

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.  Add Rainbow pasta and chopped chicken and cook 12 – 14 minutes until desired tenderness of pasta is achieved.  Drain.

Melt butter in saucepan.  Saute garlic about a minute.  Add milk, Veloute & Tomato Sauce.  Mix well.  Add the drained chicken/pasta and spinach and mix.  Serve sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese, if desired.


You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by either adding a little more milk if too thick or a little more of each sauce if too thin.

Matt’s Directions – even easier:  When Matt saw the recipe I typed up, he said that's not how I did it.  So here is how he did it!

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add Rainbow pasta and chopped chicken and cook 12 – 14 minutes until desired tenderness of pasta is achieved.  Drain.

Put pasta/chicken back in the pan.  Add the butter and stir until melted.  Add the rest of the ingredients (except parmesan cheese) and stir until thickened.  Serve sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese, if desired.

You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by either adding a little more milk if too thick or a little more of each sauce if too thin.
