How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Basil Tomato Sauce And Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced cloves garlic and 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots. Sauté until garlic is golden and shallots are wilted (about 3-5 minutes).
2. Stir in 28 ounces (794g) crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. While the sauce simmers, grill or pan-fry 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
4. Add 8 ounces (227g) angel hair pasta to the sauce along with 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir gently to combine. Cover and cook until pasta is al dente (about 8-10 minutes), adding more water if needed.
5. Stir in the cooked chicken. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup), and serve immediately.
