Garlic Chicken Pasta

1. 1

   Get your ingredients together, dice the onion, roughly chop the garlic and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion and garlic on a medium-high heat until the onion becomes translucent.

3. 3

   Next, add the tomatoes, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.

4. 4

   If you use whole tomatoes like I did here, gently break them down with a wooden spoon.

5. 5

   Sprinkle in the basil, then lower the heat to medium and let this simmer for a few minutes.

6. 6

   While the sauce is simmering, lightly brown the chicken in another pan.

7. 7

   After a few minutes when the chicken is browned, add it to the sauce and mix well.

8. 8

   Leave this to simmer for about 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Lower the heat if things bubble too much

10. 10

    Now add your pasta to a pan of boiling water along with 1/2 tsp salt.

11. 11

    This should be on a higher heat - you want a rolling boil for pasta.

12. 12

    When the pasta is cooked, around 7 minutes, drain it well, plate and spoon a generous helping of the chicken tomato mix on top.

13. 13

    A quick topping of fresh ground pepper and serve!
