SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO OVER SPINACH NOODLES



Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo over Spinach Noodles image

This was the only dish my father ever made, but it was so rich tasting, he fooled everyone into thinking he could cook! His trick was a bit of blue cheese in the alfredo sauce. I prefer shrimp in this dish, but chicken would work as well. If you opt for shrimp, use jumbo large shrimp so that they can stand-up against this thick sauce and spinach noodles. This dish is fairly simple with few ingredients... but make sure that your serving dishes, tools and ingredients are prepped beforehand in order to help with fast timing. Shrimp and fresh pasta are easy to over-cook (Or is that just me?).

I got this off the back of some store-brand fettucine noodles and gave it a try. Dh said to make sure I kept the recipe! It is very rich and I usually decrease the salt and dried basil to help that a bit, and I thinned it down just a bit with milk, but otherwise it's a fancy-looking dish with very little effort.

SCALLOPS IN CREAM SAUCE WITH SPINACH FETTUCCINE



Scallops in Cream Sauce With Spinach Fettuccine image

This sounds really good. From the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. ETA: I finally made this and liked it. I made 2 appetizer servings, then discovered that my grandson doesn't like scallops, lol. I thought that the first serving I made was a tad bland. So took my grandson's portion and played with it a little bit. I added some gruyere cheese, a little fresh tarragon and a dash of nutmeg and really liked these additions.

SUNNY'S EASY BRAISED TOMATO CHICKEN AND SPINACH WITH FETTUCCINE



Sunny's Easy Braised Tomato Chicken and Spinach with Fettuccine image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8), cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 pounds cherry tomatoes
3/4 cup roughly chopped kalamata olives
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cloves garlic
About 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 pound fresh spinach fettuccine
6 ounces baby spinach
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large pan with straight sides and a lid (large enough to eventually hold all the chicken nestled in 1 layer), add the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken pieces in batches, without crowding the pan. Cook until golden brown, flipping and browning on all sides. The purpose isn't to fully cook them here, just to get color. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Immediately add the tomatoes to the pan and allow them to roast while resting for a few minutes, then shake the pan and stir to get another side of the tomatoes roasting on the bottom of the pan. Cook like this until the tomatoes are charred and begin to break apart and create a sauce, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the black olives, chile flakes and garlic to the tomatoes. Then, nestle the chicken pieces back into the pan. Add enough chicken stock so the chicken is almost but not completely covered by the liquid (leave about 1/2 inch). Cover and lower to a simmer. Cook until the check of a garlic clove reveals it to be tender, or the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Bring the liquid in the pan back to a boil. Add the pasta and spinach and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes (according to the timing on the package). Remove the pasta to serving plates or bowls. Pour the chicken and spinach sauce over the pasta and serve with a spritz of lemon.

CHICKEN & SPINACH FETTUCCINE BAKE



Chicken & Spinach Fettuccine Bake image

This fettucine dish is baked with garlic bread on top. For quicker preparation, use a packet of garlic bread. But if you've a little more time, then you'll probably want to make your own, which gives you so much more choice of what bread you use, how much garlic you add to it and if you want to add other herbs as well. The recipe also has instructions for heating and re-serving. I've included the instructions for a single 10-cup capacity dish, but if you are wanting to freeze smaller quantities in several smaller dishes, remember to adjust the cooking times appropriately. I've adapted this recipe substantially from one I found in a recent issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. I've also recently posted recipes for a Greek Lamb & Yoghurt Pasta Bake and a Lentil & Sausage Lasagne (also a baked dish), both adapted from the same source, and with the same detailed instructions for freezing the recipe.

FETTUCCINE WITH GORGONZOLA, SPINACH AND PINE NUTS



Fettuccine With Gorgonzola, Spinach and Pine Nuts image

This recipe comes from an award winning Australian chef. It's quick and easy to make, and tastes absolutely delicious. The sauce also goes well with gnocchi and buccatini. Said to serve 6, but I generally use around 250 g of pasta and half the listed amount of the other ingredients to serve two as a main. For a vegetarian version use non-animal rennet cheeses.

SPINACH, TOMATO, AND PINE NUT FETTUCCINE



Spinach, Tomato, and Pine Nut Fettuccine image

This is an old favorite that my sister and I have been making for years! The simple, subtle flavors really allow fresh spring and summer produce to shine, making for a nice light alternative to heavily sauced pasta. You can really be creative here with the greens...try arugula, or chard, or even collards! The original recipe doesn't call for salt or pepper so feel free to leave them out, but I think it really adds a nice something. Enjoy!

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 ounces fettuccine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced (or 3 cloves fresh)
1 (9 ounce) bag fresh spinach
6 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
kosher salt, to taste
fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook Fettuccini according to package directions.
  • Heat oil in skillet. Add garlic and pine nuts. Saute for one or two minutes until pine nuts are lightly browned. Stir in spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted. Add tomatoes and cook until they are warm.
  • Spoon spinach mixture over the fettuccini and top with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Cook the spinach quickly: Overcooking spinach can make it tough and bitter. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. I recommend using a Parmesan or Pecorino cheese.
  • Season the dish well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for this dish. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes, to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spinach fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its creamy sauce, tender spinach, and flavorful cheese, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
