This is a Publix Apron's recipe that K found a while ago and wanted to try over the weekend. You can find the original recipe here. It's a 2-step process to make the Italian Beef Florentine and then the Tortellini & Broccoli pasta but it's well worth the effort. Overall it only takes about 30 minutes to cook eveything but there's several pots, pans and bowls involved. I modified a few ingredients from the original recipe but it was a huge win and K takes all the credit for this one. I did the dishes!
Serving Size: 4
Italian Florentine
Ingredients:
4 lean ground beef patties (1 lb)
2 eggs, beaten
1.5 cups Panko bread crumbs
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1 jar Alfredo sauce
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/4 cup flour
Salt & pepper to taste
What To Do:
Place flour in bowl
Beat eggs gently in second bowl
Combine bread crumbs, seasoning, salt, and pepper in a third bowl
1. Preheat large pan on medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Dip patties in flour, coating both sides. Dip into eggs; let excess drip off. Dredge in bread crumb mixture (wash hands)
2. Pour olive oil in pan, then slowly add patties and cook 2-3 minutes on each side to brown
3. Reduce heat to medium and cook for an additional 2-3 more minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking.
4. Place Alfredo sauce in medium saucepan; bring to a boil on medium-high
5. Reduce heat on sauce to low. Stir in spinach; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until spinach wilts. Serve sauce over patties

2 tbsp olive oil
1.5 cups water
1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
1 package frozen cheese tortellini
1 pack frozen broccoli with cheese sauce
