Combine half of the spinach with the tomatoes, onion, chicken, garlic, linguine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pour chicken stock and wine on top; cover; bring to a boil.
Cook 7-9 minutes until pasta is al dente. Occasionally toss pasta with tongs to keep pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. There will still be some liquid in the pan when the pasta is done cooking, which will help make the base for the cheese sauce.
Turn off heat; add the cheese to the pasta; toss with tongs until cheese melts into the pasta; toss in remaining spinach.
Serve.
6 servings.
*To make your own dried Italian Seasoning, combine 1 t. dried basil, 1 t. rosemary, 1/2 t. oregano and 1/2 t. dried thyme.
This dish will make your tongue tingle a bit. For a milder sauce, reduce the red pepper flakes to 1/2 t.
I know some people don't want to use alcohol. This wine adds a fabulous rich buttery flavor and a bright citrus flavor to the pasta. You can substitute with chicken stock, white grape juice or lemon water (1/2 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 c. water).
