Chicken and Spinach Rigatoni Bake {recipe}

My philosophy is you can never eat too much pasta! {ok, you can, but i just love it so much and try to get around the guilt of eating too much of it every chance i get!}

This following recipe is quickly becoming quite the favorite at our dinner table. Simple and delicious, I am sure it will soon be a favorite in your home as well!

1 c. chopped onion
