- 48 ounces roasted red peppers
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 16 ounces fettuccine
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 10 ounces baby spinach
- 8 ounces mushrooms
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir in minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic begins to soften.

- Remove saucepan from heat and use an immersion blender to puree mixture until it is smooth. Place the pan back on the heat and turn heat to low.

- Add remaining olive oil to a skillet and cook chicken over medium heat. As the chicken cooks add the Italian seasoning. Continue to cook chicken until it is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Place on a plate.
- Once the water in the large pot begins to boil add the fettucine. Cook according to package instructions (approximately 12 minutes).
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet you used for the chicken. Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until they are softened. Remove mushrooms and add the baby spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
- Drain the cooked pasta and place it back in the pot. Pour in the roasted red pepper sauce and toss pasta in it until well coated. Add chicken the chicken, spinach, and mushrooms and toss until well mixed.
