Turkey and Veggie Pasta Bake

I threw this together the other night with ingredients I had on hand it turned out pretty good! We are having the leftovers tonight, actually. The Philadelphia creamy pesto sauce is a little fattening, but keep in mind that a little goes a long way. I only used 1/4 cup of it. I love dishes that include protein, veggies and grains all in one!

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey, browned
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup Philadelphia Creamy Pesto sauce
1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella
8 oz. whole grain penne pasta

Cook pasta according to directions. Brown turkey, add pesto sauce to the pan and stir. Add in spinach after thawing and squeezing it dry. Add in tomatoes and stir. Add cooked pasta. Pour mixture into an 8 x 11 dish. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
