HOW TO MAKE THIS ONE-POT SPAGHETTI
- Marinate the chicken: Cut the chicken into pieces, place in an airtight container and add the seasoning plus some olive oil, then mix. Allow it to marinate for an hour.
- Cook the chicken. In a large pot, cook the chicken until golden grown.
- Add the sauce: To the same pot, add the sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, olives, cook for a few minutes, then add in the tomatoes, pepper flakes, and broth. Bring to a boil.
- Cook the pasta: In the same pot add the pasta, reduce to low, and simmer until the pasta is done. Stir frequently, serve, and enjoy!
TIPS
- If you like onions in your spaghetti, you may start out the recipe by cooking 1 cup of diced onion in a tablespoon or two of oil for 5 minutes or until tender.
- Be sure to stir the pasta while it’s cooking. As the starch is released from the pasta, it can cause it to stick together or to the pan. Stirring a few times will help avoid this.
- If necessary, adding a bit of sugar to the sauce will cut the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Additional notes: Marinating the chicken is optional if you are in a hurry to get dinner to the table.
