Recreating a Restaurant Dish

I was caught between two options at dinner tonight, and now I’m really craving the dish I didn’t order. I could use some help figuring out how to make it!

It’s called Pasta Nicole on the menu, and it includes grilled chicken, spinach, fresh and sundried tomatoes, prosciutto, garlic, and olive oil. Any tips?

    That sounds delicious! Here’s a simple way to replicate Pasta Nicole at home:

    Ingredients:

    • Pasta (your choice – spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne)
    • Grilled chicken breast (1 per serving)
    • Fresh spinach (a couple of handfuls)
    • Fresh tomatoes (1-2, diced) & sundried tomatoes (a few, chopped)
    • Prosciutto (a few slices, torn or chopped)
    • Garlic (2-3 cloves, minced)
    • Olive oil (2-3 tablespoons)
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
    • Parmesan cheese (for serving – optional)

    Instructions:

    1. Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

    2. Grill the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing it into strips.

    3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Then add the fresh and sundried tomatoes, and prosciutto, stirring until everything is heated through.

    4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together. If it looks dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to help create a sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

    5. Serve: Plate the pasta and top with grilled chicken. You can also sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

    Enjoy your homemade version of Pasta Nicole! Let me know how it turns out!
