15 mins prepServes 4
Meet espagueti verde’s chiller, not so high maintenance cousin. She doesn’t need you to hang out for an extra 10-15 minutes and then peel chiles. They go straight into the blender making this an easy meal prep or weeknight meal!
1. Cook pasta according to the package. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
2. Remove the stems of the bell peppers.
3. Roast the bell peppers and tomato using your preferred method. I air fry at 375° F for 10 minutes.
4. Add the peppers, onion, tomato, cottage cheese, laughing cow wedges, onion, garlic cloves, garlic salt (or seasonings of choice), and the pasta water. Blend until smooth.
5. Add the butter to a pan and melt.
8. Add the crema roja and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Add the cheese and mix until it well combined.
9. Add cooked pasta and mix well.
13. Season chicken breast and cook using preferred method. If it is thinly sliced, it can be cooked in 1 tbsp of butter for 5-6 minutes on each side or air fried 400° F for 8-12 minutes.
14. Cook broccoli according to the package.
15. Divide into 4 equal servings - about 2 ounces of pasta or ~3/4 cup. Serve with 1 cup broccoli and chicken.
