This is a copy-cat recipe I created from a restaurant in the Bay Area. It's a soupy sauce, not a thick one. It's a nice change.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
salt and pepper to taste
12 ounces spaghettini
2 cups diced, cooked chicken breast meat
15 leaves fresh spinach, cleaned
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent.
Stir in broth and tomatoes; sprinkle basil into sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes over medium-low heat.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and place pasta into serving bowls.

Spoon sauce over hot pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
