Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, remembering to leave it slightly undercooked. Rinse and set aside, reserving the pot for mixing in later.
  2. In a large skillet, cook onions in the olive oil until soft and translucent. Add garlic, chicken, and spinach. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring well to distribute the spinach nicely. Remove from heat.
  3. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and seasonings. Cook 2-3 minutes whisking constantly. Add milk slowly, whisking together to make a sauce. (It may take a few minutes to thicken.)
  4. Add cubed cream cheese to sauce, stirring to melt.
  5. Combine pasta, sauce, and meat mixture in the pasta pot. Stir well to mix.
  6. Pour into 9x13 casserole, top with shredded cheese. ***At this point you may cover tightly with foil and refridgerate until ready to bake.
  7. To bake: preheat oven to 375. Uncover casserole and bake for 30-40 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
