Ready in a jiffy, this mouthwatering pasta dish is bursting with great color, flavor and the perfect amount of cheesy goodness.  If you like your pasta really spicy, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.

Chicken Fusilli with Spinach & Asiago Cheese:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup uncooked fusilli pasta

  • 1 bag (about 7 ounces) fresh baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast half (about 1 pound), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 clove garlic , minced
  • 1 package (3 ounces) sun-dried tomato halves (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese (about 4 ounces)

Directions

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions in a 6-quart saucepot.  Add the spinach during the last minute of the cooking time.  Drain the pasta mixture well in a colander, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the chicken and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally.

Add the garlic to the skillet and cook and stir for 1 minute.  Stir in the tomatoes, soup, 1/2 cup cooking liquid and red pepper and heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cook until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.  Stir in the pasta mixture and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbling.  Stir in the remaining cooking liquid as needed until desired consistency.  Sprinkle with the cheese.

Time-Saving: You may substitute 1 package (about 9 ounces) refrigerated cooked chicken strips for the chicken breast halves.  Stir in the chicken with the soup.
