This recipe is a fun twist on your typical Italian pasta dish, with a tomato sauce made creamy using Parmesan and cream cheese. I also added chicken and spinach to bulk it up and make it more filling, and the end result is creamy, comfort food perfection.

Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes and let it simmer until the spinach starts to wilt.
