This time of year I rely heavily on my slow cooker and casserole recipes, due to ease and how well they fit into a busy schedule.
Chicken and Spinach Pasta Casserole is very easy to put together and can be refrigerated until you bake.
The chicken, pasta and spinach combine nicely with the cheese to make one great tasty dinner.
It’s up there with all the ‘comfort food’ greats.
Another wonderful thing about this recipe is that it’s versatile, so add more or less cheese if you’d like {or a non-fat variety}.
You can also use other noodles of choice.
My kids gobble this casserole up, and my oldest asked for this one to replace other casseroles I make. It’s always a win when everyone in the family enjoys a meal!

This looks and sounds awesome and I’m totally going to make it soon. One question though, how much does this make? I need to know if this will be enough for my family of 6 or if I need to double it.
Oh, no need to double it. It feeds our family of 5 plus lots left to have the next day too! 😉 ENJOY!
Great nutritious casserole with our favorite ingredients! I love making dinner in the morning or the night before so 4 pm isn’t so chaotic at home.
