Angel Hair Pasta with Spinach, Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

I am sensing a pattern here. It really looks like we eat a lot of vegetables (well, just spinach). I'm Popeye!

We love this easy and fast meal for weeknights. We like to have a baguette and dipping oil (usually olive oil, balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese) with it.


2 chicken breasts

Italian seasoning

Salt & Pepper

Olive oil

1 bag baby spinach

Minced garlic

Cherry tomatoes

Goat cheese

Heat olive oil in large pan. Coat chicken in Italian seasoning, salt & pepper to taste. Place chicken in pan and cook until just cooked through. You want the chicken to get a bit crispy. Remove and place to the side.

While cooking chicken, cook the pasta according to package directions.

In the same pan that you cooked the chicken, place the spinach. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and add garlic. Using tongs mix it up. Cook the spinach down, way down. Once the spinach is all
wilty, mix in the cherry tomatoes and cooked noodles. Mix it all up. There should be plenty of oil in the pan already to coat. If you think you need more, add it, but the dish should not be overly oily. Also, if you think you need more seasoning, go ahead and add it. I don't usually need to, but its up to you.

Once mixed, get yourself a plate and pile on the goodness. Top with some goat cheese.
