What You'll Need
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cooked chicken chunks
- 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of chicken and mushroom soup, undiluted
- 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of celery soup, undiluted
- 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 (8-ounce) packages shredded Italian three-cheese blend
- 16 ounces rotini pasta, uncooked
- 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
What to Do
- Drain spinach well, pressing between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Stir together spinach, chicken, and next 7 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in 1 package of cheese blend.
- Arrange 1/3 of the uncooked pasta in a lightly greased 5-quart slow cooker. Spoon 1/3 of the chicken mixture over pasta, and sprinkle with 1/3 remaining cheese blend. Repeat layers two more times. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese and walnuts.
- Cover and cook on LOW setting 3-1/2 to 4 hours, or until noodles are done. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Easy to make and very good. Ques We couldn't find the (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of chicken and mushroom soup combined. Should this perhaps be a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of cream of chicken. If so,should we increase the milk also?? Thanks

Ok some of u do not like the presentation so why not simply precook the pasta and layer these ingredients in the oven covered about 45 minutes 375 degrees then uncover sprinkle with cheese and slip back in oven till melted OR simply sprinkle with buttered breadcrumbs before baking

Why not try kale or Swiss chard. Different texture and flavor, but it would work just as well nutritionally speaking.
