HEALTHY CREAMY CHICKEN AND PASTA
Being on a diet, the words creamy and pasta usually are reserved for only my cheat days. I wanted to make something and not feel guilty about eating it, so I whipped this up in the kitchen. It's delicious and very adaptable; change it up however you like! Has a nice little bite with the red pepper flakes added. This would also be fantastic with onion added.

TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN PASTA
This recipe is compliments of Cook's Country Magazine and I just wanted to make sure I didn't lose it. This is sooooo good and even better leftover the next day. I used spinach as that was what I had on hand. I've found it's more appetizing if you toss in the fresh spinach leaves just before serving letting the heat from the pasta wilt it just a bit. Otherwise, the spinach gets overcooked and turns into clumps. I also like to sprinkle each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
