Fresh spinach, chicken, and a combination of cheeses make this pasta dish comforting enough for the last days of winter yet fresh enough for the first days of spring. Serve family style or portion out in individual ramekins. Either way, this penne pasta casserole is definitely worth sharing.
A lickety-split version of that ever-popular standby, shepherd's pie. Seasoned ground beef and onions are sauteed, layered in a casserole with potatoes, topped with condensed cream of mushroom soup, sprinkled with cheese and baked.
'When I'm pressed for time, I find this take-along casserole is easy to fix,' writes Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio. 'The crouton-topped combination is not only attractive but tasty, too.'
