Ingredients
8 ounces pasta, such as penne or rigatoni
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1 cup spinach, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2-Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
3-Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
4-Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
5-Flip and finish cooking: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
6-Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
🥒 Use an English cucumber for crisp texture and less water in the salad.
🥗 Gently toss to avoid breaking delicate salad ingredients.
⏲️ Prepare the dressing ahead of time to allow flavors to meld.
🍅 Substitute vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, or green beans to vary the recipe.
🥜 Add lentils or nuts for a heartier salad option.
🧴 Keep dressing separate until serving for best freshness.
