"Lovely presentation and taste. Even picky eaters who would normally turn their noses up at spinach love it. Perfect make-ahead dish for company, uses cooked chicken. I split the tubes to make it easy to fill - no one can tell. If making ahead of time, remove from fridge 1 hour before baking and add about 15 minutes to baking time. Adapted from Sage at fooddotcom"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Pre-cook tubes and spinach (and chicken). Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan. Spread spaghetti sauce over bottom of pan.

Step 2

Saute leeks, garlic and shallots in olive oil, remove from heat and add drained, cooked spinach. Let cool, then stir in remaining filling ingredients.

Step 3

Make bechamel sauce by melting butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk in flour and cook til golden. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, continue whisking until mixture thickens. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
