Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 1/2 cups chopped baby kale*
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon paste
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken think rotisserie!
- 1 cup artichoke hearts chopped
- 1/2 lb whole wheat spaghetti
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Bring large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously and add pasta. Cook to al dente according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add in garlic and chopped baby kale until fragrant and tender, 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour. Stir and cook 1 minute. Whisk in milk to prevent lumps and reduce heat to medium low.
- Incorporate bouillon paste, basil, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.
- Add in cooked, shredded chicken, artichoke hearts and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
- Heat 3 minutes or so until sauce starts to thicken and chicken is heated through.
- Toss with hot pasta to coat, top with more cheese if desired and serve.
Notes
- *I've seen baby kale and spinach mixes at the grocery store that would work well in this recipe if you can't find just plain baby kale!
