This recipe was inspired by my AeroGarden, as a way to use the profusion of fresh lemon basil I had on hand. I used all three kinds of basil in the Gourmet Herbs seed kit; approximately 5 parts lemon basil, 2 parts globe basil, and one part sweet basil.
Ingredients:
- 1 c. fresh lemon basil, finely cut (or regular basil, along with the juice and zest of half a lemon)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 lb. chicken (tenders or boneless breasts)
- 1 lb. fresh spinach
- 2 16 oz. can of mushrooms (pieces and stems)
- 3 tbs. butter
- 3 tbs. flour
- 3 c. milk
- 1-2 Tbsp. oil
- 1/2 tsp. dry or 1 tsp finely cut fresh thyme
- 1/4 tsp. dry or 1/2 tsp finely cut fresh oregano
- 1/4 c. fresh finely cut parsley
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 lb. package wide egg noodles
