One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken & Sausage Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

You can have this creamy and comforting pasta with chicken on the table in about 30 minutes! The best part of it is that it is not only delicious and easy, it all cooks in one pot, so it is easy clean up. It is full of tender chunks of chicken, Italian sausage, onions and garlic, finished off with a creamy sauce with sun dried tomatoes and spinach.


3 tablespoons Calabrian Pesto Olive Oil 2 chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces

8 oz Italian sausage, sliced 2 1/2 teaspoons Joe and Son's Organic Italian Seasoning 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

8 ounces penne or farfale pasta 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 3 oz sun dried tomatoes, drained if packed in oil

1 cup packed fresh spinach 6 ounces cream cheese, cubed, at room temperature Kosher salt fresh chopped basil for garnish, optional


Heat the Calabrian Pesto Olive Oilin large wide pot over medium-high heat. Season cubes of chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, sausage and Joe and Son's Organic Italian Seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.

Add the onions and garlic and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pasta, chicken broth and sun dried tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and add the cream cheese and spinach along with 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Stir until the cream cheese is combined and melted. Don't worry if the sauce looks runny, it will thicken as it sits. Top with fresh chopped basil and serve.
