Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Cook the pasta just short of al dente, about 1-2 minutes, drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter and heat the oil over medium high heat. Add in the minced garlic, anchovy paste and black pepper, stirring together for about a minute.
- Add in the flour and whisk together. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and worcestershire whisking until it is smooth.
- Add in the milk and continue whisking until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Once thickened, add in the cup of shredded cheese and whisk until it melts into the sauce.
- Add in the spinach, pasta and cubed chicken and stir together in the sauce until everything is coated and the greens have wilted. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl combine the topping ingredients. Sprinkle the topping all over the pasta.
- Bake the pasta in the oven until bubbly and golden brown.
