1Add the pappardelle nests, cherry tomatoes, red onion, spinach, and garlic to a large skillet.
2Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, parsley, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
3Spread the tomato paste evenly over the top, then drizzle in the olive oil and pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth.
4Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta separates and cooks evenly and the tomato paste melts into the sauce.
5Once the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, give everything a final mix.
6Serve topped with fresh basil, grated Parmesan, or protein of your choice (grilled chicken, shrimp, or Italian sausage links are best).
