Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir spaghetti sauce, half-and-half, and Italian seasoning into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Return cooked chicken to the skillet, then add spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir cooked pasta into the skillet. Add mozzarella cheese and stir until melted. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
