Cheese Tortellini and Cauliflower with Creamy Spinach Marinara
Recipe provided by Albertsons
Total Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
- 2 bags (10 ounces each) of cauliflower florets
- 18 ounces of cheese tortellini, can be fresh or frozen
- 1/2 tablespoon of salt
- 1 jar (24 ounces) of marinara sauce
- 8 fluid ounces of heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 packages (5 ounces each) of baby spinach
Instructions:
- Fill a large pot halfway with hot water. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add cauliflower, tortellini, and salt, then stir briefly. Cook, occasionally stirring, until just tender, about 5 minutes, or as per package instructions.
- In another large pot over medium heat, mix the marinara sauce, cream, basil, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Wash and dry the spinach.
- When the sauce is thickened, add the spinach to the pot a handful at a time, allowing each batch to wilt slightly before adding more. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Once the cauliflower and tortellini are cooked, drain and add them to the pot with the creamy marinara sauce. Stir to combine.
- To serve, divide the pasta evenly between plates or bowls.
Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Green Beans and Honey Mustard Dip
Recipe provided by Albertsons
Total Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans
- 1/2 cup honey mustard dressing
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with 2 teaspoons of oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In another medium bowl, blend Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and paprika.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 3/4-inch strips. Add chicken to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat.
- In batches, dredge the chicken strips in the breadcrumb coating, pressing to ensure it sticks. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
