Spinach and Chicken Pasta Casserole

A healthy meal that my family loves. I use whole grain penne pasta to make it healthier.

10 oz. tubular pasta (I use Penne)
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thaw or fresh spinach torn up
2 T. vegetable oil
2/3 c. chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. chicken breast cooked and cubed
2 cans of diced tomatoes with juice
3 T tomato paste
1 1/4 tsp basil
3/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/2 c. parmesan cheese, divided

Cook pasta according to directions, drain, and set aside. Place spinach on paper towels if you're using frozen and squeeze out moisture. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add oil and place over med high heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; sautee until tender. Add chicken, tomatoes and next five ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, five minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine pasta, spinach, chicken mixture and 1/4 c. cheese in a bowl. (I always use more cheese). Spoon into a 9x13 inch baking dish coated with spray and sprinkle with more cheese. Bake 350 for 20 minutes.

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Praline Topping:

1 c. brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
2 T light corn syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Slice the French bread into twenty 1 inch slices. Arrange the slices in a generously buttered (or use Pam)9x13 baking dish in two rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, make the custard by combining the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary hand beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour custard over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the custard mixture, spooning some of the mixture in between the slices as well. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the praline topping ingredients in a medium bowl and spread it evenly over the bread custard. Bake for 45 min, until puffed and lightly golden. If you want to prepare the whole recipe ahead of time, you can also make the praline topping the day you make the custard, and just pop the topping into a plastic bag or bowl and refrigerate. The next day, just bring the topping to room temperature and then top the casserole with it and cook as usual.
