Ready In
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes; drain.
- Bring a second pot of water to a boil. Cook asparagus until bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove asparagus using tongs and immediately dunk in cold water.
- Mix oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray; rub herb mixture into chicken.
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
- Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir red bell pepper and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir buttermilk, wine, and flour into red bell pepper mixture; cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add spinach; cook until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir Parmesan cheese into sauce until melted.
- Run hot water over asparagus to warm. Evenly divide linguine among serving plates; top with sauce, asparagus, and chicken.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Be sure to thicken the sauce some before adding the spinach. When finishing with the Parmesan, add it very slowly, stirring continuously or it will clump and stick to the spinach and peppers.

A bit complicated to put together for a weeknight. I also didn't care for the flavor.

It was easy and very good. Everyone loved it. didn't go the olive oil route. Used butter all the way. Yum.

Sliced the chicken instead of leaving whole. Really like the buttermilk-based sauce, though it was rather watery even after cooking, but felt the spinach was overkill. I think it would have tast...

Really good! Tastes like more calories than it is. I make it ahead and freeze it. Just make sure to get high quality linguine if you are going to freeze it. The flavor is great. The sauce was t...

Very good recipe. Did not use red pepper because I don't like it, but other than that, followed recipe exactly. Loved it. Good way to sneak in some spinach.
