Start by boiling water for the pasta and salt the pot.

Once the water is boiled, add 16 oz of bow tie pasta to the pot.

Dice one large onion and mince 3 to 4 cloves of garlic.

Cube the chicken breast and season with olive oil, salt, paprika, pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning, mixing until evenly coated.

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic and diced onion, cooking until soft for about 5 minutes.

Add more oil to the pan and then add the seasoned chicken, cooking until fully cooked and browned on the edges.

Once the chicken is browned, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 2 cups of chicken broth, mixing well.

Slowly add 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring before adding more cheese.

Add 1 cup of sun-dried tomatoes and 3 tbsp of butter to the sauce and mix.

Right before the sauce is done, add 1 cup of spinach and mix until wilted.

Drain the cooked pasta and add the sauce to the pasta, ensuring to get all the onion cubes.

Reseason the dish with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning, mixing well.

Add fresh basil to the dish, either chopped or ripped, before serving.
