I start by cooking my pasta in a stockpot while cubing my chicken and quickly cooking it in a skillet.

Then, once it has cooked, I remove it to a bowl as I prepare my cream sauce.

I drain my pasta and toss it into the cream sauce, making sure get as much of that cream sauce goodness on the noodles as possible. Then, the chicken goes back into the skillet, along with a few hands full of fresh spinach, salt and pepper and voila, supper is ready!

I love recipes like that!

    If i freeze this should i freeze the chicken seoarately or can the whole dish be frozen together. ย How best to thaw and re-heat?
