Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13” casserole dish with cooking spray.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Sprinkle generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes or the minimum time according to package directions (the pasta will still cook some in the oven). When done, rinse with cool water then set aside.
With a hand mixer, mix together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, mayo and all the seasonings. Then either in a large bowl or directly in the greased baking dish, mix the cream cheese mixture, cooked pasta, spinach, chicken, artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Add the mixture to the dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to brown to cheesy perfection! Sprinkle it with more grated parmesan cheese (if desired) and freshly cracked black pepper then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to cook your pasta to al dente (or right before) so that it doesn't overcook and become mushy when it bakes in the oven!
