Directions: |
Directions:Combine 1/2 spinach with tomatoes, onion, chicken, garlic, linguine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper in a 5-quart Dutch Oven over medium heat. Pour Chicken stock and wine over top. Cover and bring to a boil.
Cook 7-9 minutes until pasta is al dente (with a bite to it). Toss pasta with tongs occasionally to keep pasta from sticking to the bottom of pot. You will still have some liquid in the pan when the pasta is done cooking. This is going to make the base for our delicious cheese sauce.
Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the pasta. Toss the pasta with tongs until cheese melts into the pasta. Toss in remaining spinach. Serve and enjoy.
Donna's Simple Kitchen Tip: Dried Italian Seasoning is a fabulous convenience ingredient. If you do not keep it on hand , combine 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
This dish is just spicy enough to make your tongue tingle. For a very mild sauce, reduce the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon.
Some people are sensitive to alcohol. The wine adds a fabulous rich buttery flavor and a bright citrusiness to pasta. If you can use the chardonnay. However, you can substitute with chicken stock, white grape juice or lemon water (1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup water)
