Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6 servings.
Cuisine: Europe, Italian
Ingredients: 12 ounces uncooked rigatoni or large tube pasta; 1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham; 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms; 1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned; 1 medium sweet yellow pepper, julienned; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1-3/4 cups fresh baby spinach; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

"I replaced the ham in the original recipe for this skillet dinner with turkey ham and used less olive oil and more veggies," says Lynda McClellan of West Melbourne, Florida. The result is an appealing entree that's not too heavy.
