Bowtie Pasta with Marscarpone Cheese, Chicken, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Spinach

Another great recipe from Italianfoodforever.com.  I love how the Marscarpone cheese makes this dish so creamy.  I think next time I will use a rotissery chicken and peas instead of the spinach.  Then it may come close to one of my all time favorite meals from Doolittles.
