With the flavors of mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and tomato sauce, plus a little spinach to build up your Popeye muscles, this pasta dish is easy to prepare and good to eat.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups penne pasta, uncooked
- 1 package (9 oz) fresh spinach leaves
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 to 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 oz Neufchatel cheese (like cream cheese), cubed
- 1 jar (14.5 oz) spaghetti sauce
- 1 can (14.5 oz or smaller) diced tomatoes, drained
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook pasta as directed on package. Add spinach to the boiling water for the last minute.
Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray, then cook and stir chicken with basil on medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
Stir in spaghetti sauce and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat for 3 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in Neufchatel cheese.
Drain pasta and spinach mixture; return to pan. Stir in chicken mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Spoon into a 2-quart or 8x8-inch baking dish. Bake 20 minutes, then top with 1 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese and bake 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
