# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Heat olive oil and butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
02 - Incorporate minced garlic, double concentrated tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for approximately 1 minute, stirring continuously.
03 - Pour in dry white wine and allow it to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to blend the tomato paste mixture throughout.
04 - Add chicken broth and increase heat to high until boiling. Once boiling, add uncooked pasta, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and partially cover the pot. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
05 - Stir in heavy whipping cream and shredded rotisserie chicken. Continue simmering for 4 to 5 minutes until pasta is tender and chicken is heated through.
06 - Remove from heat. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, fresh baby spinach, and torn basil. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Mix well and serve immediately, topping each portion with extra Parmesan.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For enhanced flavor, use double concentrated tomato paste and a good quality dry white wine.
02 - Stir frequently during pasta cooking to avoid sticking and ensure even texture.
