INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1 cup Roasted Tomatoes
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil
0.25 cup Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the tomatoes.
Slice the tomatoes in half, place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 minutes until softened and caramelized.
While the tomatoes roast, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small splash of pasta water.
In a small pan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, taking care not to burn it.
Combine the roasted tomatoes (with their juices) and garlic into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a rich sauce. If needed, add a little pasta water to adjust the consistency.
Slice the pre-cooked grilled chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the pasta with the roasted tomato and garlic sauce, then gently fold in the sliced chicken and fresh basil leaves.
Plate the dish and garnish with additional basil if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty meal.
