Spaghetti with Garlic Sauce, Chicken Roll Ups, and Tomato Caprese

Once again I'm making Italian food... Yeah, I love it, you know.. This time I'm showing you one of my favorite Italian recipes for the classic tomato caprese, which is a salad you always get in Italy. Today I had it with the best spaghetti I've had in a long time and some most delicate chicken rolls with bacon and other good stuff.





Ingredients:
1/2 lb spaghetti
1 clove garlic
1 bag frozen spinach, thawed
1 tbsp garlic creme cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

Chicken Rolls:
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 clove garlic
5 slices of bacon
Fresh basil leaves 
salt and pepper

Tomato Caprese:
3 large tomatoes
1 small onion
1 oz. feta cheese
8-10 olives
olive oil vinegar 

Directions:

  1. Boil water and cook spaghetti al dente, and drain. Set aside.
  2. Make the chicken rolls meanwhile. Cut each breast into 5 slices, and beat so that they get flat with a kitchen roller. 
  3. Mix tomato paste and minted garlic. Add to the chicken pieces and top with half a slice of bacon, a couple of basil leaves and salt and pepper. 
  4. Bake in oven or grill for 15 minutes.
  5. Make the sauce for the spaghetti by sautéing minced garlic in a little bit of olive oil in a big sauce pan. Add the bag of thawed spinach. Stir for a couple of minutes and add the creme cheese and drained spaghetti. Finish with adding milk and cheese and heat it up.
  6. Make the tomato caprese by slicing the tomato and onion into rings. Put on a plate, one piece of tomato one onion ring etc. Top with feta cheese, olives and the vinegar dressing.




Enjoy!
