  3. Pour in the broth, cream, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  5. One the pasta is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.
  6. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
