Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tbsp grated lemon peel
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
2 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 10- oz packages ready-to-use spinach leaves
12 oz penne pasta, freshly cooked , 1/2 cup cooking liquid reserved
1 2/3 cups grated parmesan cheese (about 5 oz)

Directions:

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, lemon peel and rosemary. Sauté until onion softens, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pot and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add half of spinach and toss until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add remaining spinach and toss until all spinach is wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes longer. Mix in pasta, then 2/3 cup cheese. Moisten with reserved pasta cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing remaining 1 cup cheese separately.
