Penne With Lemon Chicken Strips

A quickie, 1 dish meal. my co-worker gave me this recipe. she knows i'm a vegetarian so i told her i could make it with meatless chicken strips! it's delicious, low fat and very healthful. i found out recently that the combination of corn and spinach is quite good based on bobtail's recipe (#158299). if you make this with a chicken substitute it won't take as long to cook.

Steps

Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water according to package directions.
Drain , reserving 1 / 2 cup of the pasta water.
Meanwhile , heat a large frying or sauce pan.
Add oil and onion and saute.
When the onion is soft and translucent , add the chicken and saute until it is almost cooked through.
Then add the corn , white wine and reserved water from the pasta , and bring to a boil.
Add lemon juice and cook 1 minute.
Add the reserved pasta , and stir to heat.
Add the chopped spinach and toss to combine.
When the spinach has wilted , stir in the parmesan cheese and serve.
