Chicken and Sun-dried Tomato Penne

A woman at work raved about her friend's pasta dish so I attempted and made a bunch of changes, so I'm not really sure what the original is. However, whatever came it was delicious and flavorful. 

8 oz. cubed, cooked chicken
1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped 
2-3 c. Spinach leaves 
1 T each: parsley, basil, oregano, marjoram
2 T butter
1 T flour
1/2 c. Sun-dried tomatoes
10 oz. chicken broth
8 oz. penne
1/2 c shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Melt butter and add flour and cook one minute
2. Add 3-4 oz broth and cook garlic & onion
3. Add dried herbs, tomatoes, spinach, and chicken
4. Cook pasta to al dente
5. Add broth little by little as sauce thickens
6. Add pasta to sauce and cook another 2 minutes until done. Melt cheese

This was very yummy and something quite simple that I would do again for sure. Plus, it looks like the Italian flag.
