SPINACH-FETA CHICKEN PENNE
I wanted a light sauce for pasta, so I cooked tomatoes with garlic, wine and olive oil. It's a blockbuster combo for seafood, too. -Geralyn Sipos, Blandon, Pennsylvania

LIGHTER CHICKEN SPINACH & TOMATO PENNE PASTA
I put this recipe together one day and really loved it! I used skim milk, whole wheat penne pasta, and Smart Balance 50/50 butter blend to make it a little healthier yet still creamy and satisfying! Next time I might add some mushrooms to add some more flavor. Special note: I prepared all of the penne but ended up leaving about two servings out because I like a more saucy pasta.

REDUCED-FAT CHICKEN, SPINACH & TOMATO PASTA
I wanted to create a summer dish with what I had on hand, I reviewed a number of recipes, either I didn't have all the ingredients or they had more fat content than I wanted. This is what I came up with and it turned out yummy for a lower fat recipe. I used pre-cooked chicken for speed, you can use diced fresh chicken, be sure to cook throughly before adding tomato and spinach. I recommend using Herb Ox sodium free instant chicken broth. I Hope you like this dish too!

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and store to the side. Spray with hot water before serving, if needed, to loosen pasta.

- Add the cheeses & stir, then remove from heat.
- Add the sour cream and mix well.
- Salt and Pepper to taste.
