Preparation

Step 1

-Heat a small amount of olive oil in a 5 quart pot or skillet over medium-high heat and add onion. Stir and cook for a few minutes, until onion becomes translucent. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
-Add chicken and season with generous amounts of salt and pepper. Cook chicken until browned on all sides, but not completely done.
-Add spaghetti sauce, chicken broth, water and seasonings and bring to a boil.
-Add pasta and a couple pinches of salt; stir. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.
-Simmer for about 17-20 minutes, stirring at least once. Add more water or chicken broth if it seems dry.
-Remove from heat and stir in shredded Parmesan, reserving about 2 tablespoons for the garnish, if desired.
-Divide into bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
