Ingredients

8 oz spaghetti, cooked, reserving 1/3 cup pasta water
2 tablespoons butter
5 oz sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups loosely packed spinach
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup cubed, cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper
1/3 cup reserved pasta water

Steps:

In large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, onions and spinach in butter until vegetables are softened and spinach is wilted, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic. Add the flour and stir for 1 minute until the pasty taste cooks off. Add the half-and-half and stir slowly as sauce thickens. Add the chicken to skillet; cook until hot, stirring occasionally. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked spaghetti and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine.
