Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Cut tomatoes into 6 wedges each. Peel and place whole garlic on a small piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil. Place tomatoes skin sides down on prepared sheet. Drizzle with olive oil; season with 1 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use more Tuscan Heat Spice later.) Place garlic foil packet on same sheet. • Roast on middle rack until tomatoes have wilted slightly and garlic is soft, 20-25 minutes.
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ¾ cup pasta cooking water (1½ cups for 4 servings), then drain.
• While pasta cooks, pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season with 1 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the remaining Tuscan Heat Spice in the next step.) • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Turn off heat; cover to keep warm. TIP: If your pan doesn’t have a lid, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
• Once garlic is roasted, open foil and mash with a fork. • Melt 1 TBSP butter in pot used for spaghetti over medium heat. Add mashed garlic and remaining Tuscan Heat Spice; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in PHILADELPHIA® cream cheese, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and 2⁄3 cup reserved pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4); bring to a simmer, then turn off heat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add drained spaghetti to pot with sauce; toss to thoroughly combine. (TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.) Season with salt and pepper. • Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide pasta between bowls. Top with chicken and roasted tomatoes. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Wow this pasta with chicken tastes amazing. I love the garlic parmesan sauce with cream cheese and butter. I never knew you could make cream cheese into a sauce like that but it was amazingly tasty. Definitely try this one.
This pasta was fantastic! The sauce was super creamy and the chicken was very flavorful and delicious. Even better than Olive Garden! Would definitely order again!
The sauce was creamy and delicious. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Tomatoes were a unique addition for our family.
Quick meal my kids can make and the roasted tomatoes give it that extra something you want in a pasta meal.
I had never tried making roasted tomatoes before, which is odd because I love tomatoes. Now I will make them in the drop of a hat! SO sweet!!!!
Fantastic dish! I added panko/sour cream to bread the chicken. I wish there were more tomatoes in the package.
Could have used more garlic flavor in the noodles. I only got a small piece to use. Chicken had a lot of flavor.
This was great and creamy however I would recommend cutting the Tuscan spice seasoning in half that goes on the chicken. If not for that extra spice I would have rated at four. This rating is just for my family who is not an extra spicy extra pepper heat family.
Pretty good. Directions have you overcook the garlic/tomatoes so watch for that.
It was good! The chicken spices were tasty, but I didn't cook the chicken well enough and it was too dry with the pasta.
