Follow these easy steps to create your Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta:

1. Boil the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble when cool.
3. Sauté the Chicken: In the same skillet, add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and ranch dressing seasoning mix. Whisk together and bring to a simmer.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and spinach to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until well coated with the sauce.
7. Finalize with Bacon: Crumble the crispy bacon over the top and mix lightly.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
9. Serve Immediately: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Following these steps will lead you to an unbelievably creamy and savory pasta dish that promises to be a hit.
