Fresh Tomato Basil Linguine
- 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
- 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.
