Chipotle Spinach Fettuccine

Oh my – people!! We made the most amazing dish the other night. I had been craving some chicken with a creamy, spinachy- tomato type sauce. After mulling it over on how I would accomplish this & still fill the family I came up with this Chipotle Spinach Fettuccine.

I added some chipotles in there too for a little heat to appease those that like it spicy. But it wasn’t too much for those of us that prefer the milder side of life. Definitely a dish I can’t wait to make for our company once we get moved.

Now if you wanted to speed up the process, you could add the spinach & the chipotle chilis to a batch of alfredo sauce to make this spicy chicken pasta & that would be pretty tasty too. But we absolutely love this fettuccine recipe.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use another type of noodles with this recipe?

Yes, this also works great with a spaghetti or angel hair pasta. But you might also want to try it with penne noodles.

Where can I find the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce?

I often find mine in the ethnic section of the store. Or you can grab them online here if you like to do the bulf of your shopping from the comfort of your home.

Chipotle Spinach Fettuccine

It was light – which was great because I usually dread the heaviness of pasta.

To make this recipe you will need…

• grilled chicken breast
• chopped spinach
• chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce
• tomato -diced
• jalapeno pepper – seeds removed & diced
• minced garlic
• butter
• Half & half

We used the Italian Garlic Butter to make the bread. Just melted a little in the microwave & then brushed it on these french loaf slices. Then broiled for about 3 minutes. Perfection.
