Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds boneless chicken, cubed
  • 0.25 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 pint half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
  • 8 leaves fresh basil, or to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Add mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir spaghetti sauce, half-and-half, and Italian seasoning into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Return cooked chicken to the skillet, then add spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cooked pasta and mozzarella cheese to the chicken and sauce; stir until melted. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
