1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
4 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon oregano leaves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cayenne pepper to taste
1/2 pound cooked chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces uncooked fusilli pasta (4 cups cooked)
Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic and parsley until almost brown.
Combine the tomatoes and all spices with the garlic and parsley in the frying pan. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 15 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Add chicken to the pan and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the glaze is thick.
In a medium pot, boil water and cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and pour the tomato and chicken sauce on top. Season the pasta with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
