mostaccioli according to package directions; drain. While the pasta is cooking, saute onion and garlic in large skillet until soft. Add chicken; cook just until
chicken loses its pink color, stirring constantly.
Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil. Add spices and spinach Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes (or enough time to wilt spinach), stirring occasionally.
Add pasta to tomato mixture (you may need to move to larger bowl) and stir in 1/4 cup cheese. Spoon into lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish.

for 20 minutes.
