Three Cheese Chicken Penne

I could KISS the person that came up with this recipe! So simple and yet SO tasty! It requires no "special" ingredients which is my favorite part. It easily made a double batch (since some of the canned ingredients only call for 1/2 a can) and I froze the other half for later.

1 1/2 cups multigrain penne pasta, uncooked

1 pkg. fress baby spinach leaves

1 lb. chicken cut up into bitesize pieces

1 tsp. dried basil leaves

1 1/2 cups (1/2 a jar) pasta sauce

1 2/3 cups (1/2 of a 796 ml can) diced tomatoes-drained

1/4 cup light cream cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese

2 Tbs. parmesan cheese (I used an Italian cheese blend for the 2 cheeses)

HEAT oven to 375. cook pasta, adding spinach to boiling water for last 1 min.

COOK and stir chicken and basil in large skillet on medium-high heat 3 min. Add pasta sauce and tomatoes, bring to boil. Simmer 3 min. or until chicken is done. Stir in cream cheese spread

DRAIN pasta mixture; return to pan. Add chicken mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Spoon into baking dish.

BAKE 20 min. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 3 min.
