1 clove minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more if you like the heat!
salt, pepper to taste
1/4 cup Red or White Wine ( I like to use Cabernet or Burgundy!)

lots of freshly grated cheese
1 pound of cooked ziti pasta kept warm, tossed with a few tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper and grating cheese
2 boneless chicken breasts cut in small chunks
2 cup or more of assorted vegetables of your choice, carrots, peas, mushrooms, green beans, diced zucchini, diced eggplant In a large dry fry pan or saucepan, saute chicken in 1/4 cup olive oil, add peppers salt pepper and cayenne pepper.
When chicken is slightly browned, add vegetables. ( If using finger carrots, microwave for 10 minutes to precook)
Add tomatoes, paste, water, wine and rest of seasonings.
Cook about 1/2 hour. While this is cooking, cook pasta in boiling salted water. Toss pasta in a few tablespoon of olive oil to keep from sticking as suggested above.Place pasta on a dish and top with veggie sauce and plenty of grating cheese on top...
YIKES!!! I don't think this sauce goes with camera lenses, delicious though it sounds and looks LOL
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I love pasta and how often we eat it at home - today's lunch was a hearty beef, tomato and macaroni soup...
I will definitely be trying your recipe very soon :) Thanks for sharing!
always in favor of a one-pot meal, well, in this case, with pasta... like the sound of the sauce and being able to use versatile selection of veggies... what a nice meal...
ReplyDeletemmm,so yummy pasta dish ,claudia!i made the same sauce with meat,beans,tomatoes but with potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI love this "everything into the pot" recipe! It looks hearty and so comforting! Sorry about your camera!
ReplyDeleteLove your sauce! I have yet trying to make and store my own pasta sauce. If I have a bigger refrigerator i will definitely do so! I love simply dish like this. Thanks.

Claudia...you and I seem to have quite a bit of similarities in the cuisine. I can cyber smell the aromas of your dish...just by reading off those ingredients...mmmum!
ReplyDeleteCiao for now,
Claudia
My gosh! I'm glad you're okay and your camera survived! This dish is right up my alley. I love all the colorful veggies!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delicious and so simple!
ReplyDeleteAdore it.
Wonderful pasta sauce recipe, look forward to trying. And thanks for the advice on the camera handling.
ReplyDeleteI love combining all those veggies anf then you soak them in sauce and add the pasta and then you don't take picture, Claudia - you eat it!
ReplyDeleteOh man you are so lucky nothing bad happened to you. It must have been horrible cleaning that lens too.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what it is but fall = chicken in red sauce. I did a chicken and sauce dish the other day too. This sounds really yummy. Wine is always a big flavor booster, great add!
