Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped (about ¼ cup)
½ cup jarred roasted red bell peppers (diced)
1 cup sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound short pasta (such as rigatoni, penne, etc.)
4 cups water OR low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups shredded, cooked chicken (I used the pre-cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken that you can find near the deli section of your grocery store)
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups fresh spinach
2 rounds burrata (about 2-3 ounces each)
Fresh basil, Parmesan cheese and/or cherry tomatoes, for garnish (if desired)

Instructions

In a large skillet or large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot and saute for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Add the peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and stir well to combine. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir to combine.
Add pasta and water OR broth and stir. Press pasta lightly down in pan to ensure that it's mostly submerged under liquid. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, covered, or until liquid is mostly absorbed and pasta is tender. Stir in chicken and heat for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through.
Remove from heat and stir in cream and spinach. Place the burrata balls on top of pasta and slice so that filling spills out. Let sit for several minutes, or until cheese mostly melted. Stir to combine and garnish with basil, Parmesan cheese, and/or cherry tomatoes, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers will last in an airtight container for up to three days.
