Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water. Meanwhile, season chicken with half the salt and pepper.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. of reserved sun-dried tomato oil, and swirl to coat the pan. Add chicken, and cook until browned on two sides, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat, as needed (it may not be totally cooked through at this point). Transfer chicken to a plate.
- To the pan, add remaining 1 Tbsp. reserved oil, mushrooms, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and onions translucent, 5 to 6 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, and remaining half of salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add cream cheese and Parmesan and allow to melt in, about 1 minute. Stir in pasta and return chicken to pan. Add some reserved pasta water, as needed, to create thick and creamy sauce that nicely coats the noodles.
- Add spinach and stir it in, cook just until wilted. Divide pasta between warmed bowls and top with more Parmesan cheese before serving.
