I have made this a couple of times..we love it! Easy and tasty. Used frozen spinach and also fresh. No noticeable difference. the one thing I would suggest to thise who found it watery...pasta soaks up liquid so I always let my pasta "rest" for 15 or so minutes before serving.
Great base recipe. We loved it. Halved the recipe for our home. I had half a leftover smoked chicken and and fresh spinach I needed to use up as well as the other pantry basics so I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I am an experimental cook and like some, thought it funny there was no seasoning.
So that I can remember what I did for the next time I make this, (and hubs and I both agree that it should be added to the rotation) I am going to list what I added in addition to the base recipe: 2 cloves minced garlic, a cup of sliced bella mushrooms, 1/4 cup chopped green pepper, did not drain the tomatoes, added 1/4 cup of cream, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 TBSP Kirkland brand Pesto, and 2 TBSP sliced black olives. I sauteed the veges in the olive oil with the seasoning, then added the tomatoes, cream cheese, pesto and cream till the cheese was melted, then combined first the parmesan, and then the cooked chicken. I mixed the pasta in the cooking pan, sprayed the baking dish with PAM and then baked as directed and let rest under the foil for 10 minutes. Absolutely delish!
