  • 1 ½ cups chopped yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 32 oz or 2 packages chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 tsp fresh basil plus more for garnish
  • 2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste deepens in color.

  4. Add pasta, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
  5. Lower heat to low, stir in spinach, shredded chicken, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Stir often for 5 minutes until cheeses melt and chicken is warmed through.
  6. Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra Parmesan, fresh basil, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
