Spinach Noodle Casserole image

We enjoyed a similar casserole at a friend's house many years ago. She didn't have a recipe but told me the basic ingredients. I eventually came up with my own version and have shared the recipe many times since. It goes great with ham but also is filling by itself. -Doris Tschorn, Levittown, New York

I've made this casserole with different types of noodles and they all work well. I've used egg noodles, penne, and even macaroni.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often add a cup of cooked chicken to the casserole.
