Pasta Bake Thing Yeah!

So! This is kind of a modification to a DELICIOUS dip recipe I acquired from my friend Mandy... I just decided to make it into more of an entré type thing....

• 2 packages [8 0z. each] cream cheese
• 1 package frozen [or equivalent amount] chopped spinach
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• one onion, chopped
• ~2/3 package of egg noodles
• chicken [optional] (1-2 large breasts)
  
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded [1 cup or so...?]
  

Preheat the oven, to 375[?]. Cook up the chicken however you normally cook chicken... I did it in a pan, seasoned with Garlic and Chili powder. After all is cooked and lovely, cut/tear the chicken up into small pieces.

Cook egg noodles as per package directions, drain, set aside.
Chop Onion. Combine in bowl with spinach and tomatoes.
Cut cream cheese into cubes, microwave slightly if too firm to cut.

Layer ingredients in a 9x13 casserole dish/pan/whatever you have on hand, starting with noodles on the bottom, then spinach/tomato/onion mixture, chicken(optional), cream cheese cubes on top, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Bake for about 25-40 minutes, until cheese bubbles up.

VARIATIONS:
The original dip recipe involved Olives and Green Chili Peppers... feel free to add these in as a twist or a kick... [I had bought all the ingredients for the dip, then the Olives and Peppers ended up on a Pizza instead...]
