Three Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake
Three Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake
3 c. uncooked ziti (I used penne)
1/4 kg spinach leaves
1 lb. of chicken, cut into pieces
1/2 t. each of oregano, basil, thyme, salt, pepper, garlic powder
3 diced tomatoes
2 oz. cream cheese
2 T. parmesan cheese (you can substitute cheddar)
1/2 c. mozzarella
2 boxes tomato puree
1/4 c. bacon bits (optional)
oil
Cook pasta according to package directions. One minute before it’s done, add spinach leaves. Drain.
Heat oil in a skillet. Add chicken and all seasoning and saute in skillet until done. Add tomato puree and tomatoes, bring to a boil. Simmer 3 mins. Stir in cream cheese. Toss in spinach and pasta. Toss in 1/2 c. mozzarella. Pack into baking dish. Bake 20 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Bake at 375/180, covered lightly for 15 minutes. Remove foil for the last five minutes.
Question on this Three Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake... how much is a 'box' of tomato puree?
ReplyDeleteI'm referring to the boxes you typically find in Indian markets, about the size of a juice box, and I'd guess contain 1/3-1/2 c. each of tomato sauce. Hope that helps! :)
