Creamy Sundried Tomato and Chicken Pasta

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 medium chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • For the creamy sauce:
  • 4 ounces GO VEGGIE Vegan Classic Plain Cream Cheese
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz penne pasta or your favorite shape of pasta

Instructions

  • First, make the sauce:
  • Combine cream cheese, milk, sun-dried tomatoes, and salt in food processor and blend until pureed. Set aside.
  • In large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, start a pot of water to cook your pasta. You will want you pasta cooking while you are making the sauce.
  • Add additional tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add shallots and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook another minute.
  • Add diced tomatoes and salt, and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the skillet.
  • Add cream sauce, and stir quickly so it incorporates well in the sauce.
  • Let cook over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Drain pasta and reserve about ½ cup of pasta water.
  • Add pasta to skillet with the sauce, and stir well to combine.
  • Add spinach, stirring well until wilted.
  • Add additional water if you feel the sauce needs thinned out. I added just a couple of tablespoons.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
