I’m planning on cooking a romantic Italian dinner for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. I know he loves Italian food and anything with cheese, so I thought something cheesy with pasta and chicken thrown in would be good… Does anyone know a recipe for this?

You can use ground chicken in this recipe and delete the spinach if you don’t love spinach. This is a great meal.
