I have to say though, I only make it maybe once or twice per year because it’s not exactly health food.

This recipe is super easy and fast to prepare. You just have to cook the pasta and sauté the chicken with a ton of garlic. I just used diced, crushed or stewed tomatoes for the sauce. It gave it lighter flavor than using tomato sauce.

I hope you like this recipe for Chicken Lasagna Recipe with Spinach, if you love this, you will love this other Italian inspired dish, Chicken Florentine Pizza
