  • Sauté garlic and veggies: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes start to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Make the sauce: Lower the heat to medium, stir in the heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  • Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, add the cooked pasta and baby spinach. Toss everything together until the spinach wilts and everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve warm with extra Parmesan on the side.
