Looking for an easy pasta dinner with plenty of fresh flavor?

Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 lbs thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 pints heirloom cherry tomatoes
• 8 oz baby spinach
• 16 oz penne pasta
• 6 oz Sicilian Infused Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp crushed red pepper

• Shaved Parmesan, for finishing

Directions

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and bake at 350°F for 30–40 minutes, or until cooked through. Slice the cooked chicken.
2. While the chicken cooks, prepare the penne according to package directions.
3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and wash and dry the spinach.
4. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl while still hot. Add the tomatoes, spinach, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
