Nutrition & ingredients

Ingredients

serves 6
  • 10 ounces penne pasta (ziti, rigatoni, small shells, wheels, etc. may be substituted)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or as needed)
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (diced into bite-sized piece (boneless skinless chicken thighs may be substituted))
  • Salt and pepper (to taste for seasoning the chicken)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3-4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth (regular is what I use but reduced sodium is fine)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup sundried tomatoes (drained from the oil, blotted with paper towel, and coarsely chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste (if you used reduced sodium broth you'll need to add more salt))
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • red pepper flakes (optional and to taste for heat)
  • 1-2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil (finely minced; or to taste)
  • fresh parsley (optional and as desired for garnishing (or garnish with additional fresh basil))
