BusyDayDinners.com

This quick and easy comfort food dinner is perfect for busy days. Chicken and spinach are cooked in a creamy garlic sauce with sundried tomatoes and nestled in tender penne.

Ingredients

01

Boil a pot of salted water and add penne. Cook until al dente (7-8 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Drain. While boiling, add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Then add the garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

02

Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Add the chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Taste and season, if needed. Reduce heat to medium low.

03

Add the cooked pasta and spinach to the sauce and stir to combine. Allow the spinach to wilt (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the chicken and stir.

04

Add some of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick (about ¼ cup at a time). Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Serve hot.
