Pasta Bake
I made this tonight for dinner from the generic ALDI brand lite cream cheese box and I thought it was mighty tasty! No one else liked it though. I kids are picky(too bad I say) and James thought it was bland. I thought it was pretty darn good. I made some big changes (basically in the amount of sphag sauce and cream cheese- I added a lot more then the original recipe called for- more cream cheese is always better...right?!?!?)
Heat oven to 350. Cook pasta as directed on package, adding spinach to the boiling water for the last 1 min. Cook and stir chicken and basil in large nonstick skillet on med-high heat for 3 min. Add spaghetti sauce and tomatoes, bring to boil. Simmer 3 more min or until chicken is done. Stir in cream cheese. Drain pasta mixture and return to pan. Stir in chicken mixture and ½ mozzarella cheese. Spoon into 8X8 baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 min
