LOADED POTATO SKINS

three cheese ckn penne pasta bake

this is a kraftfoods.com recipe...

1 1/2 cups multigrain penne pasta, uncooked (we used 2 cups)

1 package (9 oz) fresh spinach leaves (we used about 3 oz)

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

1 tsp. dried basil leaves

1 jar (14 1/2 oz) spaghetti sauce (i did not see jars in this size, so just used part of a bottle of ragu 'light')

1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

2 oz (1/4 of 8oz pkg) Neufchatel cheese, cubed

1 cup 2% milk shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

heat oven to 375*. cook pasta as directed on package, adding spinach to the boiling water for the last minute.

cook chicken and basil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 3 minutes. add spaghetti sauce and tomatoes and bring to a boil. simmer 3 minutes or until chicken is done. stir in neufchatel cheese.

drain pasta mixture; return to pan. stir in chicken mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella. spoon into 8-inch square baking dish. bake 20 minutes. sprinkle with remaining cheeses (mozz & parm). bake 3 minutes.

i'd recommend serving with french bread to dip in sauce... unless you're watching the carbs.

EVERNOTE

One of the best tools I've ever found is called EVERNOTE. I love it and I use it ALL THE TIME! Maybe you've already heard of it and this isn't news to you. :) Basically you can "clip" anything you find online and save it to your evernote files. You can create different folders and keep it all organized. For instance, I have folders for craft ideas, sewing projects, and then I have lots of recipes subdivided into different categories. I love having a place to neatly save all of the great ideas that I come across online! I highly recommend it!
