PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 2

  Cook the chickpea penne in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions to keep it al dente, then drain.

• 3

  Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until cooked through and lightly browned.

• 4

  In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, tomato puree, garlic, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, processing until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

• 5

  In a mixing bowl, toss the par-cooked pasta, sautéed chicken, fresh spinach, and goat cheese together.

• 6

  Pour the blended cheese sauce over the pasta mixture and stir until every piece is thoroughly coated.

• 7

  Transfer the pasta to the baking dish and sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.

• 8

  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese topping is beautifully melted and golden.
