Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion (sliced)
3 small garlic cloves (crushed)
500 g chicken (cubed)
2 (400 g) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (140 g) can tomato paste
1 large carrot (diced)
1 celery (sliced)
3 fresh basil leaves (torn)
1 tablespoon mixed Italian herbs
salt & pepper
250 g cherry bocconcini (although more would be a bonus)

Steps:

Heat oil in a large pan (big enough for the entire dish) and saute onions & garlic and brown chicken.
Add the tomatos, paste and vegetables.
Add all herbs and seasoning.
Bring sauce to a boil and then simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Once sauce is set to simmer, prepare pasta.
When water for pasta is boiling, add the bocconcini to the sauce and stir through. You're aiming for the cheese to be a little melty but still hold most of it's shape.
When pasta is ready, serve and enjoy!
Belissimo!

This healthy pasta recipe is so versatile! Look in your fridge for anything else you want to throw in, like red pepper, mushrooms, extra zucchini-you name it. And if you're a vegetarian, go ahead and leave out the chicken. -Stephanie Loaiza, Layton, Utah

1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 medium yellow onion, (minced)
3 cloves garlic, (minced)
16 oz dried short-cut pasta ((I used rigatoni))

water to fill empty marinara sauce jar
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

To a large pot or skillet (I used my dutch oven), add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Cook about 5 minutes, until chicken is most of the way cooked through. Remove to a plate.
Add onion and garlic to the pot and cook about 2-3 minutes, until soft. Pour in marinara sauce, fill up empty sauce jar with water and add to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a strong simmer.

Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dish and cook another 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and gooey.
Sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning if desired, and garnish with parsley or basil.
