In a large skillet, add the butter, shallot, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Add the tomato paste, oregano, and paprika. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste starts to darken.

Add the chicken broth, milk, pasta, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes; season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 18-20 minutes, until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite.

Remove from heat and stir in the spinach and Parmesan cheese until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is incorporated

If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until the desired consistency is reached.

Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Enjoy!
