Chicken, Spinach and Mushroom Pasta Recipe
When I cook chicken, I generally cook extra so I can use it in another meal. Not only is this a great way to save money, it’s a great time saver as well. After I’ve cooked the chicken, I cube it and store it in the freezer to use it when I’m pressed for time. This recipe is very versatile. In addition to using chicken, you can also substitute shrimp if you’re looking for a recipe that works during Lent.
- 8 ounces of pasta. I used Piccolini because they’re cute.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 5 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1 small can
- 1 small onion, chopped small
- 1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach
- 3 cloves of garlic, smashed
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup cubed, cooked chicken
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Melt the butter in a large pan and cook mushrooms, onions, and spinach until softened.



If you’re looking for a delicious pasta recipe that is quick and easy to make, I recommend that you try this one. You can even make recipe substitutions to accommodate what you have on hand. I have tried the recipe with shrimp, and it’s delicious too. Asparagus or peas make a great alternative to spinach as well.

My kind of dinner! one of my sons would pick out the mushrooms, but it looks like something everyone in my house would like.
I used to make a dish similar to this years ago – and totally forgot about until now! I agree the Piccolini is adorable. I’m always buying pasta based on cute shapes!
Now I want to use that pasta because it’s cute too. This looks good!
My husband would LOVE this. He loves anything with mushrooms. Bookmarking so he can make it.
