Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl or a deep platter.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season tenders with salt and pepper, place in the hot oil, and cook until lightly brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until light brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add mushrooms and onion to the hot skillet and cook until onion is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Return chicken tenders to skillet and submerge them in the broth mixture. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and place on top of the cooked pasta.
- Continue to cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cream. Add spinach stir until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken and pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality pasta and cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken and mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Add the spinach to the pan just before serving. This will prevent it from wilting and becoming slimy.
- Use a good quality blue cheese for the sauce. A sharp, flavorful blue cheese will give the sauce a lot of depth of flavor.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming坨.
Conclusion:
This chicken, mushroom, and spinach pasta with blue cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try.
