Weekly recipe...

Amatriciana:
a very excellent pasta dish that is as nutritious as it is delicious...and way, way, way simple to make!

4 slice bacon
1/2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
28 oz. can stewed tomatoes
1 lb. uncooked pasta (I used whole wheat angel hair)
1 tbs. chopped basil or parsley

1. dice and cook bacon is a non-stick pan. Drain all but 2 Tbs. grease and toss in thinly sliced chicken. When chicken is mostly done toss in onions and cook until they are translucent and tender. Then toss in garlic, cook for another 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and red pepperflakes simmer for 10 minutes...breaking up the tomatoes as they heat through.

2. Meanwhile, boil pasta in a large pot, drain and rinse when cooked to desired firmness.

3. Stir basil/parsley into sauce, toss with pasta and server. Sprinkle with grated parmesean if desired!


Enjoy!
