  4. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, fire roasted tomatoes, and seasonings; bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. Add the pasta, cover the skillet, and cook until the pasta is tender, approximately 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
