Spinach Chicken Mascarpone Pasta Sauce

Spinach Chicken Mascarpone Paste is delicate and creamy and perfect for a quick dish. It will be perfect for the box version for work. The addition of mascarpone makes the dish creamier than with cream alone. All this makes pasta with spinach, chicken, and mascarpone sauce exceptionally tasty.

How to choose the best ingredients for Spinach Chicken Mascarpone Pasta Sauce

Pasta: choose the pasta you like, I like penne for this dish, but you can choose tagliatelle, spaghetti

Spinach: the best spinach will be fresh from the young leaves, the so-called baby spinach because you don’t have to peel it from the stalks. It can also be frozen spinach, but remember to choose the one where the whole leaves are frozen.

Chicken breast: choose the best quality chicken breasts you can, and they can also be filleted chicken parts. If you choose filleted chicken parts, you need to take them more from the skin and veins. A little more work, but the final taste will be the same.

Mascarpone: mascarpone can be replaced with whipping cream, but know that it will not taste the same. Instead, mascarpone gives a unique creamy flavor to the dish: pasta with spinach, chicken, and mascarpone sauce.

Garlic: garlic is a perfect match for spinach because it gives the dish a spicy character.

Nutmeg: nutmeg is indispensable, it does not give such amounts a bitter taste, but it gives a unique aroma and goes well with chicken and creamy sauce. If you have the whole thing, I add such a scoop directly by rubbing it on a grater to the dish.

Tips and Tricks for Spinach Chicken Mascarpone Pasta Sauce

  • You can prepare the sauce in more significant amounts, e.g. for work for the next day.
  • As the reheating sauce is too thick, you can gently add water, one to two tablespoons.
