Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 ounces pasta
  • 1 can tomato sauce basil, garlic
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions + cook until onions are translucent + softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic + cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.

Add the remaining ingredients to the stock pot – the pasta, diced tomatoes with their liquid, crushed tomatoes, shredded chicken, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, fresh basil, chicken broth, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt + pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer + cook for 10-15 minutes (depending on the type of pasta you choose), stirring frequently. Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated + pasta has reached an al dente consistency. Add more salt + pepper if needed + stir well. Serve with a generous topping of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
