Directions:

Serves 4| Hands-On Time: 10m| Total Time: 20m
Ingredients
/4 pound gemelli, penne, or another short pasta
Cup frozen peas
Tablespoon unsalted butter
Cloves garlic, chopped
Cup heavy cream
Cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about half of a 2- to 2 1/2-pound bird)
Ounces baby spinach (about 6 cups)
Kosher salt and black pepper
Grated Parmesan, for serving
Directions
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, adding the peas during the last minute of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and peas and reserve the pot.
Melt the butter in the pasta pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the cream, chicken, spinach, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the pot and cook until the chicken is warmed through and the spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pasta and peas and toss to combine (add 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry). Serve with the Parmesan.
