This dish was really different. I am glad I found it searching on the Family Fun Magazine website. It is rare to find a pasta dish with little to no cheese. I also used the Barilla Plus brand of whole grain pasta with extra protein and Omega 3-s. Any type of pasta you have on hand would work fine, though.
- Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 29-oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped or 2 tbsp dried basil
- 1 16-oz. box pasta (penne, bow tie or ziti)
- Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)
-
- Instructions
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Coat chicken pieces in flour and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, onion and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and onion is clear.
- Add chopped tomatoes and basil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover pan, and let simmer for 15 minutes.
- While sauce is simmering, prepare pasta according to package directions in a large saucepan.
- To serve, pour sauce over pasta. Garnish with Parmesan or Romano cheese, if desired.
