Chicken Spinach Alfredo

This week I made Chicken Spinach Alfredo and it tasted great!! It was a very large portion, so my family and I enjoyed it for dinner that evening. I found this recipe on Pinterest.

The ingredients were:
1 lb. penne pasta
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 cloves of garlic
4 tbsp. all purpose flour
2 cups of skim milk
2 tbsp. of light cream cheese
1.5 cups of parmesan cheese
2 cups of cooked shredded chicken
2 cups of fresh spinach
salt and pepper

The instructions are:
1. Cook penne in very salty water until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a separate sauce pan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and saute until fragrant and cooked through.
3. Add flour to butter and whisk to combine and form a roux. Let roux cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add milk a little at a time, whisking constantly to work out any lumps. Milk will thicken up quickly at the beginning, but as you whisk the rest of the milk in it will loosen the sauce.
5. Cook sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 6 minutes.
6. Add cream cheese and whisk until cheese has melted.
7. Remove sauce from heat and stir in parmesan cheese, shredded chicken, and spinach into sauce. Stir until cheese has melted.
8. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as necessary. Add cooked pasta to sauce and stir until the sauce evenly coats the noodles. Serve.
