Fresh Tomato Basil Linguine - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 - 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked-I use the foreman grill (I use 4-6 breast tenders)
greek mixed spice (optional) or seasoning salt, to toss with chicken and pasta (optional)
6 -8 ounces linguine, cooked
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (to serve)
Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 -4 ripe tomatoes, chopped (I've used cherry and grape tomatoes too)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preparation
-
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.
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.
To serve: Divide pasta into 2 bowls, ladle sauce over pasta and sprinkle parmesan over sauce.
