It is quick, easy, inexpensive and kid friendly :) Even my picky son who will not touch anything green (or, really, any vegetable at all!) will eat this casserole!

Ingredients

1 lb box of whole wheat rotini
1 jar Light Parmesan Alfredo sauce (such as Ragu or Classsico)
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach (loose in bag, not block frozen), thawed
1/2 cup shredded Italian Blend cheese
1 Tablespoon grated parmesan

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Bring large pot of water to boil. Once boiling add a pinch of salt and pasta to pot. Return to boil and boil about 8 minutes until cooked al dente. Before draining pasta, take out about 1 cup of the cooking water. Drain pasta, return to pot. Stir in chopped chicken, spinach, alfredo sauce and reserved pasta water.
Transfer to a casserole dish. Sprinkle with shredded Italian Blend cheese and grated Parmesan. Place casserole in preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted on top.
