How to make Capellini with Pine Nuts, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Chicken

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 oz whole wheat capellini or angel hair pasta
3 oz dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
8 oz chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite-size pieces
1/8 tsp salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4-1/2 tsp red-pepper flakes
1/4 c sliced fresh basil
1/2 c pine nuts, toasted (MUFA)

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta per package directions without adding salt. Meanwhile, soak tomatoes in hot water 10 minutes or until soft. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of water, and chop.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat while pasta cooks. Season chicken with salt. Add chicken, garlic, and red-pepper flakes to skillet. Cook, stirring, until garlic turns golden, 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and reserved water and cook 2 to 3 minutes until chicken is completely cooked.
  • Drain pasta, add to skillet, and toss. Add basil and toss. Divide pasta equally among 4 bowls and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of pine nuts. Top with more basil, if desired.
