Spaghetti with Chicken and Chili Peppers

Состав / Ингредиенты:

• Chicken fillet 200-250 grams
• Spaghetti 60-70 grams
• Vegetable oil 1-2 tablespoons
• Salt, pepper to taste
• Tomato paste (or crushed tomatoes in their juice) 3/4 cup
• Chili pepper (or less, as desired) 1 piece
• Onion (optional) 1 piece
• Dried basil to taste

	1. Boil the spaghetti according to the package instructions. I usually add the pasta to boiling salted water and cook for about 8-9 minutes.
	2. Cut the chicken fillet into cubes. If desired, peel and finely chop the onion. Do the same with the chili. The spiciness of the pepper is in the seeds, so you can remove them. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent, then add the chopped chili and fry for another minute. Then add the chicken fillet and fry for about 8 minutes, stirring. Season with salt and pepper, add basil, then pour in the tomato paste. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
	3. Divide the spaghetti onto serving plates. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the water used to boil the spaghetti, about half a ladle.
	4. Spoon the tomato sauce with chicken and chili over the spaghetti. The dish can be garnished with basil leaves and sprinkled with grated Parmesan. Enjoy your meal!
