  4. Add butter to the hot pan and once it melts, add chopped garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes on medium high until tomatoes release their juices. Add fresh spinach and cook until it wilts.
  6. Reduce the heat and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and salt. Mix.
  7. Next add heavy cream and slowly add Parmesan cheese - until the cheese melts and makes the sauce creamy. 
  8. PASTA: In the meantime bring a large pot of water to boil, add pasta and cook it according to instructions. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse.
  9. Add sliced chicken, bacon and pasta. Next add chopped parsley. Stir until fully coated in sauce. Season with more salt if necessary.
  10. TO SERVE: Serve with additional shredded Parmesan and red pepper flakes, if desired.
