How this recipe comes together
Getting from ingredients to a delicious meal is straightforward. First, you’ll cook your pasta until al dente. Meanwhile, the chicken is seasoned and seared to golden perfection. After that, we sauté the garlic and cherry tomatoes, followed by wilting the spinach in the same skillet for added flavor. The magic happens when you stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan, creating a rich sauce that envelops the pasta and chicken. A simple toss to combine, and dinner is served!
