It’s deliciously creamy, amazingly hearty and just perfectly satisfying. This is my kind of comfort food!
One Pot Pasta Recipe
I love that with this recipe you are throwing all of the ingredients into one pot. Everything goes into the Instant Pot and there’s no sautéing beforehand. About 2/3 of the ingredients are added at the beginning then you’ll add the remaining 1/3 at the end.

Ingredients for Tuscan Chicken Pasta
Low-sodium chicken broth Sun dried tomatoes in oil Italian seasoning Garlic Chicken breasts Campanelle pasta Baby spinach Light cream cheese (regular works too) Parmesan Fresh basil Salt and pepper
How to Make this Pasta Recipe
First you’ll start by stirring together the chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper in an instant pot insert.
Then mix in diced raw chicken and dry uncooked noodles. Cover and seal, make sure valve is set to “sealing” position. Set to “manual” and select 5 minutes.
Once time is up select “cancel” then use the quick release method to release pressure. Wait for steaming to stop from valve then open Instant Pot.
Stir in spinach, cream cheese and parmesan. Then let mixture rest for about 5 – 10 minutes.
The sauce will be very runny at first but the longer you let it rest the more it will thicken and become creamy.
Substitutes for this Tuscan Chicken Pasta Recipe
Frozen thawed and drained spinach can replace fresh. Regular cream cheese will work in place of light. If you can’t find campanelle pasta you could substitute another kind of bite size pasta such as cavatappi, bowtie or penne. Garlic powder could replace fresh, I’d go with about 3/4 tsp. If you don’t want to buy fresh basil then use 1 tsp dried, add it along with Italian seasoning.
