Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese
2 tablespoons Italian-style breadcrumbs
1/2 pound ziti pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 (5.2 ounce) package soft French cheese, such as Boursin® Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Combine grated pecorino and breadcrumbs in a small bowl; set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ziti, and cook until tender with a bite, about 11 minutes. Drain; reserve about 2 tablespoons pasta water.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion; cook and stir until onion begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, herb seasoning, and red pepper flakes, and cook about 30 seconds.
Turn off heat. Stir in chicken, spinach, cream, Boursin, and mozzarella, stirring until cheeses are melted and ingredients are well combined.
Stir drained ziti into chicken mixture. Loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water, if needed. Pour chicken and sauce mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle pecorino and bread crumb mixture over the top.
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
