Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, smoked paprika (is using), and onion powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni 2-3 minutes less than the package directions for al dente pasta. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add crushed garlic and butter. Cook over medium heat until the butter is golden and fragrant. Stir in Red Gold Tomato Paste, cooking until it turns a deep red color to reduce acidity. Add Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes and mix well.
- Stir in heavy cream, then add fresh spinach, cook until the spinach wilts. Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce, tossing to coat each piece in the creamy mixture. Simmer on low for 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors.
- Slice the chicken and place it on top of the pasta. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese, serve immediately and enjoy!
