Preparation

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. While the noodles are cooking, chop the veggies and meats. Drain the noodles and set aside. Drizzle with a little bit of oil to keep the noodles from sticking.

Heat the oil up in a skillet. Add the onions and sauté for2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and spinach leaves. Heat until the leaves start to wilt. Add the chicken, sausage, tomatoes, green chilies, I’m drooling over this and 1 cup cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.

Spoon the mixture into a greased 8x8 pan. Top with the rest of the cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Broil for 2 minutes to brown the top. Serve hot. Makes 6 servings.
