Recipes:
Creamy Chicken Meatballs with Spinach Alfredo
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground chicken
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Alfredo Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup fresh spinach
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Pasta:
12 oz spaghetti or fettuccine
Salt for boiling water
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
Shape into small, even-sized meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Pasta:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Toss in fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine Everything:
Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the Alfredo sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring it’s well coated.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Plate the pasta with meatballs on top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Serve with garlic bread for a complete meal.
A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the Alfredo sauce beautifully.
Enjoy this indulgent and creamy dish!
