Florentine Pasta Recipe Shuffle

Image of dinner plate with text What's for Dinner???

     When my daughter wandered into the living room and asked me what was for dinner tonight, I realized I needed to come up with something on the quick side, using what I had on hand. I found a recipe for Chicken Florentine that sounded promising, except all my chicken is currently frozen solid. However, I had fresh spinach, a few last cloves of garlic, two cans of chopped baby Portabella mushrooms (which my husband brought home one day when I asked him to pick up fresh mushrooms), a can (yes, a can) of cream of chicken soup, a small carton of heavy cream and some shredded fakebutwilldoinapinch (Kraft) Parmesan cheese. Basically, I shuffled the deck, removing a couple of cards and adding a few cards of my own. The verdict: Jackpot! The fam loved it, which is all I need to hear, though I loved it too. I reeeeally needed this, especially after the recent Pasta with Seafood and White Wine Sauce Fail this past Sunday! I have redeemed myself with my loved ones (at least for the moment), so I’m a happy cook.
