  • 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar, divided
  • 1½ cups chopped yellow onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 (32 oz) packages chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish

  • 3 cups chopped fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3–4 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes; cook 2 minutes until deep red.

4. Pour in chicken broth, cream, basil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 12 minutes.

5. Add pasta and reduce heat to medium-low; cook 12 minutes until pasta is al dente.

You can substitute shell pasta with any short pasta shape.

To make it even creamier, stir in more cream cheese or heavy cream.
