It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
1 pound fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup salted butter
1 pint half & half or light cream
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, plus additional
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
directions
Preheat the oven broiler. Grease a large baking dish.
Cook the pasta as directed on the package. Drain well.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. In a bowl, beat together the half and half and egg yolk. Stir into the butter in the saucepan. Add the Parmesan and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts. Do not let the sauce boil or it may curdle.
Add the chicken, shrimp, and cooked pasta to the sauce. Mix well. Let heat for 5 minutes or until the shrimp starts to turn pink, then transfer to the baking dish. Sprinkle with an even layer of additional Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking dish in the oven and broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned.
Serve hot.

I used regular fettucine noodles and fat-free half and half since there are more than enough calories in here. Really good. Very filling too. I cut the recipe in half and it fed four of us with a lot of leftovers.
