By kbwinson

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti pasta
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
• 2 cups boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and cubed
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot of boiling water, cook spaghetti pasta until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, rinse with tap water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken, basil, salt and hot pepper sauce. Reduce heat to medium, and cover skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot and tomatoes are soft.

Toss sauce with hot cooked spaghetti pasta to coat. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
