½ t. Freshly Ground Nutmeg
1 ½ T. Cornstarch
¾ t. Salt
3/8 t. Pepper

½ Cup Margarine
1 ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese
Butter Pecan Topping:
3T. Margarine
1 ½ Cup Pecans, Chopped
Sauté 3T. margarine in skillet and sauté pecans for 3 minutes.
Cook pasta and drain. Drain spinach well. Combine spinach, chicken, and next 11 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir well. Arrange 3 noodles in 9” x 12” pan (greased). Spread 1/3 of chicken mixture over noodles. Repeat 2 more times, ending with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, then Butter Pecan Topping.
