- Next, add the minced garlic, shallot, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Saute this mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and heavy cream, and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil, you may need to increase the heat to medium-high.
- Add the dry penne pasta to the skillet and stir well. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet as well. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow the pasta to simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- At the 8-minute mark remove the lid and stir the pasta. Check the pasta for tenderness. When it is al dente and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the parmesan.
