Three Cheese Chicken Penne Pasta Bake

1 1/2 c. multigrain penne pasta uncooked (I like SmartChoice)
1 pkg. (9 oz.) fresh spinach leaves
1 lb boneles chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1 jar (14 1/2 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained
2 oz. (1/4 pkg) neufchatel cheese (I used cream cheese since I had some on hand)
1 c. mozzarella cheese, divided
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Heat oven to 375. Cook pasta, adding spinach to boiling water for last minute of cooking.
Cook chicken and basil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat for 3 min. Add sauce and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Simmer 3 min or until chicken is done. Stir in neufchatel cheese. Drain pasta mixture. Return to pan. Stir in chicken mixture and 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese. Spoon into 2 qt baking dish. Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake 3 min.

TIP!!! Cook pasta in a large pot so you have enough room for the spinach and later adding the chicken mixture. I would also suggest at least a 2 1/2 qt baking dish (that's what I used and it was pretty full!)
