Ingredients you'll need
- In this dish, I utilize chicken breast as the protein source. Substitute chicken thigh, prawns, or meatballs if desired. Season the chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper before sautéing it for a few minutes.
- Spaghetti: Use whatever dried or fresh pasta noodles you choose. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but don't overcook it since you'll be tossing it with tomato sauce Dried rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, marjoram, and sage are common ingredients in Italian herbs spice mixes.
- Tomato passata is a purée of strained, uncooked raw tomatoes. Supermarkets and grocery shops have a lot of it. If tomato passata is unavailable in your region, finely chopped canned tomatoes or peeled, deseeded fresh tomatoes may be substituted.
- Cheese: Freshly grated basic pasta cheese, Parmesan Parmigiano-Reggiano, or your favorite chees Dried chilli flakes: For a blast of spice, add a teaspoon of crushed chilies.
Spicy Chicken Pasta: Step-by-Step Instructions
Cook the pasta in salted water according to the packaging instructions 1 cup of pasta water should be stored for further use. Drain and set the water aside. When the pasta is ready, prepare the chicken and tomato soup.
Add the fried Chicken: Heat skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle with olive oil and sear chicken pieces 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Then Remove the pan from the stove and set aside.
To make the tomato sauce, put a little more olive oil into the remaining pan and sauté the chopped garlic for a few seconds. Cook until the onions are soft and tender, then add the garlic. Then, for a few seconds, add the chilli flakes and mix Add the tomato passata, Italian herbs mix, salt, black pepper, and chicken stock cube after that. Pour in the pasta water you set aside, mix well, and bring to a boil.
Place the spaghetti, along with the cooked chicken strips, in a large mixing bowl. Combine the chicken, spaghetti, and tomato sauce in a mixing bowl Stir in shredded cheese and finely chopped parsley until everything is nicely combined. Remove from the heat and place on a serving platter To serve, top with finely chopped parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Variations in ingredients
This recipe calls for spaghetti noodles, but you may use penne, fusilli, linguine, or tagliatelle instead .1 This dish works nicely with any kind of pasta Sun-dried tomatoes may be substituted for tomato passata if you like a lighter sauce.
2. Instead of dry chilli flakes, use cajun spice mix, which is mixed with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic, onion, and herbs and has a robust spicy flavor.
3. You may leave out the dried chilli flakes for a milder or kid-friendly version You may substitute dried oregano, basil, and thyme for the Italian herbs spice mix if you don't have any on hand.
Cooking Advice
Don't forget to salt the boiling pasta water. When you add salt to pasta, it seasons itself One cup of the starchy pasta's boiling water should be set aside and added to the tomato sauce later. It aids in the thickening of the sauce as well as the binding of the pasta and sauce together.
