Spinach Parmesan Linguine


OH MY GOSH! I got this recipe from Taste of Home's website and all I can say is WOW! It's absolutely delicious! It puts other pasta side dishes to shame!
We enjoyed it today for lunch...but if you added some grilled chicken on top you could serve as a main dish as well. GREAT!

Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) linguine (obviously I used rigatoni)
1 cup chicken broth
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons cream cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions:
1. Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring broth to a boil. Add onion and garlic. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add the milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper; stir until cheese is melted. drain linguine and place in a serving bowl. Add sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses; toss to coat.
