Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add cubed chicken to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

In a bowl, combine heavy cream, cream cheese, and broth. Mix until smooth.

Add the cooked pasta and chicken mixture to the cream mixture, stirring to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.
