  • 2 cups dry short pasta or broken lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion for 3 to 4 minutes until it begins to brown.
  2. Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chili flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the uncooked chicken breasts and sun-dried tomatoes.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 12 to 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  5. While the soup simmers, cook the pasta in a separate pot of boiling salted water according to package directions, then drain.
  6. Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and cornstarch until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken.
  8. Stir the shredded chicken, cooked pasta, and fresh spinach into the pot, heating through until the spinach wilts.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve in bowls topped with a dollop of ricotta and a sprinkle of Parmesan and mozzarella.
