Basil Chicken over Angel Hair

This was pretty easy. I didn't have enough fresh tomatoes, so I used a can of diced tomatoes, and it worked. Oh I forgot the hot pepper sauce - oops. That would have been good. I also forgot the salt, so we added some at the table. And we added our own Parmesan as well.

Basil Chicken over Angel Hair
  • 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair 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
  1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook angel hair pasta until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Toss sauce with hot cooked angel hair pasta to coat. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
