3 cheese Chicken penne pasta bake

Boil

750 grams penne or rotini pasta

Near the end of the boil add 2 cups cut up spinach

In a pan or on a grill cook 2 chicken breasts I season them with garlic and salt.

Pasta sauce:

680 grams sauce or crushed tomatoes

1 tbsp basil

1 tbsp oregano

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

You can also use whatever sauce you have on hand.  If I’m not using left over sauce I just mix the ingredients and don’t even precook the sauce.  

Drain the pasta/spinach mixture then pour the sauce in the pot.  Add 1/2 cup cream cheese then stir in pasta and chicken.   Put in an 9x13 pan and sprinkle with parmasean and mozzarella cheese.  

Bake at 375 for 20 min
