Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces penne pasta
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to increase or reduce the spiciness)
1 lb boneless chicken, cut into bite size pieces
1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
1 cup dry white wine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook pasta until almost fully cooked (al dente), drain, and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking:.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté the onions in two Tbl of olive oil for approximately 3-4 minutes.
