Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon salt and farfalle to boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/2 up cooking water, drain pasta, and return to pot. Add sauce, spinach, Parmesan, pine nuts, and cooked chicken to pot and toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
