Instructions

1
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2
Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add remaining oil. Sauté garlic and shallot until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4
Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Italian herbs, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5
Reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in Parmesan until melted and sauce thickens slightly. Add spinach and cooked chicken, stirring until spinach wilts.
6
Add the drained pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
