This is my family's favorite dish that I make. And it is sooo easy! It is enough for 6 adults. Or 2 adults and 2 kids, with more than enough to have for dinner the next night, and then lunch for 2 kids the next day. It's also good if you leave out the chicken.

This was INCREDIBLY delicious and incredibly easy to cook (and, in my opinion, hard to mess up). I made some for my roommates and myself and they found it amazing. This is also a dish that, in my opinion, gets even better with leftovers as the flavors have more time to get absorbed into the pasta. I took the leftovers to work and got some of my co-workers to try some (even those who do not like spinach) and they all loved it! I served it with garlic bread and white grape juice (not 21 yet) and the flavors complemented each other perfectly.

    Super easy and very tasty. I used leftover rotisserie chicken so it all came together super fast! Great for a night when you want something quick and easy.

    Wow! This was GOOD! It's amazing what can become of sauce in a jar! It had a 100% homemade taste too! I will never tell anyone that it came from jars and cans! Spectacular!

    This recipe was quite good. My husband and kids liked it alot. I think next time I will try a different sauce, perhaps the roasted garlic one, as I didn't really like the aftertaste of the sundried tomato one. Just a personal preference, though, this recipe is definitely worth making again and again.
