Fresh spinach, chicken, and a combination of cheeses make this dish
comforting enough for the last days of winter yet fresh enough for the
first days of spring. You also can cook the pasta mixture in
individual eight-ounce ramekins; bake for 15 minutes.


1 teaspoon olive oil
Cooking spray
3 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
3 cups chopped fresh spinach
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) carton 2% low-fat cottage cheese
4 cups hot cooked penne (about 8 ounces uncooked tube-shaped pasta)
2 cups shredded roasted skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of
chicken soup, undiluted

Preheat oven to 425¦.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray
over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper; sautT 4
minutes or until tender. Add spinach, oregano, and black pepper; sautT
3 minutes or just until spinach wilts.
