Being a native New Mexican who has since become a Texas transplant, I am so proud of both of those states I’ve called home over the years. I grew up eating Skinner® Pasta, and I love to prepare it now for my own family. It’s budget-friendly and tastes great. Every package of Skinner pasta comes with precise and helpful cooking directions, which means I can rest assured my pasta dishes will always turn out just right.

Skinner Texas Shape Pasta

For this recipe, I like to use the fun Texas Shape Pasta from Skinner. Not only does it taste delicious, but it is always a crowd-pleaser when entertaining at home or taking along to share with friends! Skinner also has a huge variety of other pastas that work well for this recipe. Their Penne Rigate is a great option, and their Linguine works beautifully in this dish, too. The choice really is up to you.

Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces Skinner Texas Shape Pasta Penne Rigate, or Linguine (if using Linguine, break pasta in half before cooking)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 ounces chopped green chile
  • 14.5 ounce can Italian diced tomatoes
  • 8 ounces chive and onion cream cheese
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Skinner Pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and pour onion mixture into a very large bowl.
  • Add the green chile and next 4 ingredients to the onion mixture, stirring well to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13" pan, and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove the foil cover, top with the mozzarella, and bake 10 minutes more, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
