Ingredients
- 16 ounces dry linguini or whole box of your favorite pasta
- 2 cups fresh sweet cherry or grape tomatoes halved or quartered
- 1 large sweet Vidalia onion thinly sliced
- 6 cloves fresh garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 TB extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 5 cups regular chicken broth up to 1/2 cup more, if desired
- freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving
- 1 bunch Fresh Spinach Leaves washed
- 2 prigs fresh basil roughly chopped (more for garnish, if desired)
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken cooked, shredded (store bought for ease)
Instructions
- In a large, heavy pot combine all ingredients except basil, spinach, and chicken. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Continue to boil pasta, stirring often, until pasta is almost al dente (according to package instructions), and liquid has nearly evaporated. About 9 minutes for linguini.
- Add basil, spinach, and shredded chicken. Boil and stir another minute, just until veggies are wilted.
- If needed, season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Divide among bowls, garnish with parmesan or basil, and serve warm.
