Equipment
- Saucepan
- Two large non-stick frying pans
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta
- 1 lb skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 6 zucchinis
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 package fresh basil leaves
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes or 2 cans
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Make the Tomato Sauce: Heat 2 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chopped basil. Once the sauce comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Cook the Vegetables: Peel and chop the zucchinis and mushrooms. In two large frying pans, cook the zucchinis in one and mushrooms in the other over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer both to a large bowl.
- Cook the Chicken: Chop the chicken into small pieces. In the same frying pan used for the mushrooms, cook the chicken over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper, and then add the chicken to the bowl with the vegetables.
- Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine Everything: Add the tomato sauce to the bowl with the vegetables and chicken, mixing everything together. Then, in two large frying pans, divide the pasta and add the vegetable-chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, mix until everything is combined and heated through.
Notes
- For a smaller portion, you can halve all the ingredients. This recipe serves 6-8 people.
