8 ounces spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 chicken breasts, diced
1 cup shredded basil leaves
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pine nuts (about 1 ounce), toasted in a small, dry skillet over medium heat
Black pepper to taste

Steps:

Add oil to skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add garlic and chicken and cook until cooked through. Reduce heat to low. Stir in shredded basil leaves and allow them to wilt - approximately 30 seconds. Pour in the stock and simmer liquid gently while you cook the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain pasta and add it to the skillet with the basil. Toss well to coat the pasta. Add the pine nuts, cheese, salt and some pepper, and toss again. About 20 minutes prep time.
