As someone who juggles a busy work schedule and a passion for cooking, I adore recipes that are easy, delicious, and don’t require a ton of dishes. This Chicken, Spinach, and Cheese Pasta Bake has become a staple in my household. It combines creamy cheese, tender chicken, and nourishing spinach all in one casserole dish. It’s the perfect comfort food that’s also wholesome. I love making this dish on Sunday evenings so I can enjoy the leftovers for lunch during the busy work week.
This pasta bake is quite hearty on its own, but you can pair it with a simple side salad for some extra greens or some garlic bread to soak up the creamy sauce. A light steamed vegetable medley can add a nice touch as well. For a refreshing contrast, consider serving it with a crisp white wine or a sparkling water infused with lemon.
