Well, it seems like we have a recipe for “Oven Chicken and Linguini.” Let’s take a look at this and see if we can make some improvements.
First of all, the ingredient list seems to be in order, but the instructions are a bit lackluster. We need to be more specific and detailed to ensure that this dish turns out perfectly.
Here’s a revised and more thorough recipe for oven chicken and linguini:
Oven Chicken and Linguini
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 pounds chicken thighs
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish and set in the oven while it preheats until the butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped onion, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter. Add the chicken thighs, turning to coat with the onion mixture and placing them skin-side up in the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is 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). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the dish and set aside.
- In the meantime, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain the linguine and set aside.
- Mix the thawed and squeezed dry spinach into the onion-butter sauce until thoroughly mixed. Add the cooked linguine and grated Parmesan cheese, tossing to combine.
- To serve, place the oven-baked chicken thighs on top of the linguine.
Wine Pairing
I recommend pairing this dish with a crisp and refreshing white wine such as a Pinot Grigio. One of my favorites is the Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. Its citrusy notes and vibrant acidity will complement the flavors of the dish beautifully.
