Categories : cheese chicken breasts
Italian pasta
spinach

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound whole wheat or multi grain penne
3 garlic cloves
2 ounces goat cheese
1 ounce reduced fat cream cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the penne and cook until it
is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 12
minutes.
Mince the garlic in a food processor. Add the goat cheese, cream cheese, 3/4
teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and half of the spinach leaves.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set the cheese and spinach
mixture aside.
Meanwhile, place the remaining spinach leaves in a large bowl.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Spoon the pasta atop
the spinach leaves in the bowl. Scrape the cheese and spinach mixture over
the pasta mixture and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to
moisten. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the
Parmesan over and serve.
