Ingredients

  • ½ cup drained julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil with herbs)
  • 1 tbsp oil from sun-dried tomato jar
  • 1½ cups chopped yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 tsp)
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 (32-ounce) packages chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tsp chopped fresh basil (plus more for garnish, optional)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (plus more for garnish)
  • 8 oz uncooked medium shell pasta
  • 3 cups packed roughly chopped fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed, at room temperature
  • 1½ oz Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (plus more for garnish)

Instructions

  • Sauté Aromatics: Heat the reserved sun-dried tomato oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add Tomatoes and Paste: Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste, cooking until the paste deepens in color (about 2 minutes).
  • Build the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in basil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the Pasta: Add uncooked pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 10 minutes).
  • Incorporate Final Ingredients: Stir in spinach, rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Cook until the cheeses melt and spinach wilts (about 5 minutes).
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan, basil, and crushed red pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Use turkey or Italian sausage for a different flavor.
  • Vegetarian Option: Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth; add mushrooms or zucchini.
  • Pasta Choices: Try orecchiette or ditalini for a different texture.
  • Spice Level: Adjust crushed red pepper to your liking.
  • Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days; reheat with added broth if needed.
