Ingredients
  

8 oz spaghetti

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups fresh spinach

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.

    Sauté Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

        Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

          Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained spaghetti. Toss well to combine. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.

            Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

              - Presentation Tips: Serve the Tomato Spinach Chicken Spaghetti in a large bowl or individual plates. Top with additional grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an attractive finish.
