How to Make

  • 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.
