Ingredients
8 ounces ziti or other pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb. chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
1 tablespoon all-purpose Italian seasoning mix for the chicken
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 7–ounce jar sun dried tomatoes,
drained
3 cloves garlic
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan/Romano cheese
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup chicken broth
Salt to taste
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and
set aside.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the
chicken and sprinkle with the seasoning and the cayenne. Sauté until the
chicken is cooked through.
Drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Chop into smaller
pieces if you want. Add them to the pan with the garlic and sauté for a few
minutes, until fragrant. You will probably still get some of the oil from the sun-dried
tomatoes – that’s okay.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture come to a slow
simmer. Add the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is
melted and incorporated.
Stir in the cooked pasta and spinach – the spinach will
start to cook down almost immediately. If needed, add in the chicken broth, a
little at a time, to thin out the sauce. Season with salt to taste.
