"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.

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!

With fresh basil ready to use from my garden, I was excited to make this for my family. We are pasta eaters from way back and this looked too good to pass up. Simply devine with shrimp!
