Left Over Roast Chicken With The Works Linguine

I love easy cooking nights especially when you have unexpected dinner guests (teenagers)to feed. Of course you can perform miracles with pasta and feed a pile of hungry younins for very little dough. This is a good time to use up left over veggies and meat. Here's what I did.

Cook linguine (or any other pasta you have) until just done, drain and rinse with cool water. While the linguini's cooking pour a little olive oil into another pot, add 1 tsp. of fresh garlic (I use jarred minced), a pinch of nutmeg, a pile of spinach leaves and steamed broccoli and saute for about 10 minutes on medium heat or until just soft. Toss the cooked pasta and maybe even a little more olive oil into the pot and mix. Here is where you can season with some salt and pepper and serve as is or like I did last night, add 1/4 cup of pesto, a handful of pine nuts (yes they are quite expensive at the moment), left over roast chicken and the juice of one lemon. Mix up and serve into bowls topped with freshly grated Parmesan. It's a gorgeous green healthy pasta and yummy too!
