1/2
cup shredded fontina cheese
1/2
cup shredded gruyère cheese

freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Boil Ling Ling Chicken & Vegetable Potstickers according
to package boiling directions. Rinse Potstickers in cold water; drain
and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a 6-quart pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add
flour; stir about 1/2 minute. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes.
Return to heat. While stirring with a wooden spoon, pour in milk. Add
nutmeg and salt; continue to cook and stir until thickened and flavorful,
about 8 minutes.
Stir in raw spinach and cheeses; cook and stir over low heat until
spinach wilts and cheese melts. Add cooked Potstickers; stir gently until
evenly coated. Adjust salt to taste. Serve immediately with a sprinkling
of pepper and additional Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, if desired.
Tip: For easy clean up, soak cheese sauce pot in cold
water.
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Arrange
frozen Ling Ling Chicken & Vegetable Potstickers in skillet
in a single layer. Top with green beans; add boiling water. Return
to a boil and cover. Simmer, gently stirring once with a silicone spatula
or wooden spoon, until Potstickers are cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Check occasionally to prevent sticking.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together pesto and cream; gently stir
pesto mixture into skillet with cooked Potstickers. Cook until heated
through. Adjust salt to taste.
Top with diced tomatoes.
