This oven chicken and linguini dish with spinach and a buttery sauce is easy and delicious. If you like it spicy, add more pepper flakes.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 onion , chopped
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions

Place butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt in the oven while it preheats, about 5 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the dish.

When the chicken is nearly finished cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
