Zesty Lemon-Herb Dinkel Spaghetti
Pan-seared chicken and nutty spelt spaghetti tossed in a bright lemon-garlic sauce with tender wilted spinach and fresh herbs.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
2 oz dry spelt spaghetti
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spelt spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the fresh baby spinach and toss until just wilted.
Drain the spaghetti, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet with the chicken and spinach.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley, tossing well to coat the noodles in the light sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with grated parmesan cheese before serving warm.
