INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
3 ounces Chicken Breast, diced
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat penne pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add diced chicken breast. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
Stir in the fresh spinach with the chicken, cooking just until it wilts slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed chicken and spinach, low-fat cottage cheese, and shredded mozzarella. Mix well to create a creamy sauce that evenly coats the pasta.
Transfer the pasta mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
