Chicken and Mushroom Pasta in a Vodka Sauce


I actually made this recipe up because I happened to have all these ingredients on hand and it seemed like they would meshed well together. I was right! The recipe turned out wonderfully and was so delicious. It was quick and easy to make, and had few ingredients. It took me less than a half hour to cook and clean up! My roommates loved this recipe as well and I’ve made it many times again. Also, there are plenty of left over’s, so you can reheat it the next day if you don’t feel like cooking or are in a rush.
                                                  
Ingredients:
1 large chicken breast
4 large mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
1½ cup fresh or frozen spinach
olive oil
½ can vodka sauce
½ lb. pasta

Add ½ lb of pasta to boiling water and cook until noodles are al dente. Mince garlic cloves and cut chicken breast into cubes. Coat the bottom of a pan with olive oil and sauté garlic and chicken. Slice mushrooms and roughly chop spinach and add to pan containing chicken and garlic. Pour vodka sauce and pasta over the chicken, mushrooms, spinach and garlic. Reduce heat to simmer and cover for 10 minutes.
