"This is my new favorite pasta recipe. I've made it about 10 times the last few months because it's so easy and so good. It's adapted from a grocery store recipe. It's great even without the chicken. You can add onion to this also by sauteing some in the olive oil before adding the tomatoes. Please use all fresh ingredients for the best results."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

I have everything going at once for a quick dinner but if you can't do that toss a little olive oil with the cooked pasta to keep it from sticking. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Optional:Toss with desired spices. Cook the chicken by desired manner and cut into strips. Optional: toss with desired spices.

Step 2

Sauce:. In a skillet heat olive oil. Add tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat until tomatoes break down into a sauce. Add parsley and basil cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add lemon juice, cook 1 more minute and remove from heat.

Step 3

To serve: Divide pasta into 2 bowls, ladle sauce over pasta and sprinkle parmesan over sauce.

I halved the recipe for one but used 2 ounces of wholemeal spaghetti instead of the linguine and 2 small chicken thighs which I poached in bay leaf and mixed peppercorns, otherwise made as per the recipe and for my tomato I peeled and finely dice one and chunky dice the second and in all had 2 cups of tomato but was slightly confused as to when the chicken was returned to the pan so did so after putting the lemon juice in and mixed before adding the pasta to the pan and mixing once again and serving and sprinkling with the parmesan. Thoroughly enjoyed what I ate though could only get through half, so have lunch for tomorrow. Thank you Engrossed for a lovely dinner, made for What's On The Menu tag game at FF&F.

This doesn't take a long time to make and it is so good! I love the flavor of the fresh basil in with lemon and other ingredients. I could eat this a couple of times a week it's so good!

If you have not made this you are missing out on a amazing meal! I have made this twice now and it is really good with our garden tomatoes picked fresh from the garden, and basil from my herb garden right outside my door!

I think I could eat this every day. The ingredients are so fresh and blend so well together, and the flavor is fabulous! It's amazing to me how simple ingredients make a simple dish taste so great! I used whole grain pasta and low fat Parmesan cheese to cut some of the fat and carbs without the flavor suffering at all. I love that idea!
