With tender penne, juicy chicken, and a rich and creamy sauce, this simple chicken spinach pasta will quickly become a dinnertime hero, a recipe you turn to time and time again. Easy and quick pasta recipes<\/a> like this one were made for busy nights when you need dinner on the table\u2014and you need it now<\/em>.<\/p>\n This simple recipe comes together in just 30 minutes. It leverages tried-and-true shortcuts like condensed soup to transform a short list of ingredients into a filling, crowd-pleasing pasta everyone will adore. You’ll only need two dishes to prepare this recipe, so there’s almost no cleanup.<\/p>\n It doesn’t get much easier (or tastier) than this!<\/p>\n Cook the pasta according to package directions.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: We recommend cooking noodles to al dente<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook and stir the chicken and onions in the oil for five minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>The internal temperature of chicken<\/a> should read 165\u00b0F so you know it’s cooked through.<\/p>\n Next, stir in the cream of mushroom soup and the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for two minutes.<\/p>\n Stir in the spinach, mozzarella cheese and black pepper. Cook for one to two minutes or until the spinach is wilted, the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: While we love the convenience of pre-shredded cheese when making creamy sauces, we recommend taking the time to grate the cheese<\/a> fresh from the block. Pre-shredded cheeses often contain additives like cellulose to prevent them from clumping in the package, which can, unfortunately, also inhibit the cheese from melting smoothly in sauces.<\/p>\n Drain the pasta, add to the chicken mixture and toss to coat. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n Leftover pasta can be refrigerated in an airtight food storage container for up to four days. To reheat the pasta<\/a>, warm gently in the microwave or stovetop until heated through. You can add a splash of milk or broth, if necessary, to rehydrate the pasta.<\/p>\n No, you shouldn’t freeze this chicken spinach pasta since it has a dairy-based sauce. Dishes with dairy tend to curdle and separate when frozen and thawed, negatively impacting their texture once reheated. No worries. If you’re looking for make-ahead meals, we have plenty of freezer-friendly recipes<\/a> to choose from.<\/p>\n Yes! If you’re not a fan of cooking with canned condensed soups, you can make this recipe using homemade cream of mushroom soup, too.<\/p>\n If you’re up for an experiment, you could also omit the condensed soup completely, and instead cook 1-1\/2 cups chopped white or cremini mushrooms with the chicken and onions until softened. Then, whisk together an additional 1\/2 cup heavy cream, 1\/2 cup chicken stock, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and add it to the Dutch oven in place of the condensed soup.<\/p>\n Enjoy this quick and easy pasta recipe with a fresh garden salad or your favorite homemade bread. Easy focaccia<\/a>, crusty Dutch oven bread<\/a>, and copycat Olive Garden breadsticks<\/a> are all worthy candidates.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a quick and easy

Ok, sooo I didn't have cream of mushroom soup only had cream of chicken and used small egg noodles instead of penne. I added fresh mushrooms and used store bought rotisserie chicken, shredding it. I saut\u00e9ed the onions and mushrooms in the oil then added the chicken to heat it up and I did add a wee bit more heavy cream with the soup because I was adding more bulk adding the mushrooms, but otherwise, made it as printed.
