Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve ¾ cup (175 ml) of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta in a colander and place the pot back on the stove over medium heat
To the pot, add the olive oil, onion, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and reserved pasta water, and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper.
Add the pasta back to the pot, along with the shredded chicken and spinach, and stir to combine and wilt the spinach.
