Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons - olive oil divided
- 8 ounces - mezze rigatoni pasta
- 1 - large onion chopped
- 1 pounds - cremini mushrooms quartered
- 2 cloves - garlic finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons - fresh thyme
- 4 cups - spinach
- 1/2 cups - flat-leaf parsley chopped
- 3 tablespoons - all-purpose flour
- 3 cups - whole milk
- 8 ounces - Gruyere cheese coarsely grated
- 1/4 teaspoons - cayenne
- - salt and pepper
- 3 cups - shredded cooked chicken
Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a 3-quart casserole dish. Cook pasta per package directions.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender - about 6 to 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl; toss with spinach and parsley.
Wipe out the skillet. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil on medium heat. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk. Simmer, whisking often, until thickened - about 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add Gruyere, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir until cheese melts.
Fold in chicken and pasta and toss to coat. Transfer to prepared baking dish; bake until heated through, about 12 minutes.
