Bottled garlic, ginger, and pesto are a hurried cook's friends. You'll find them in your supermarket's produce section.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, large & sliced
3 tomatoes, medium & chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
8 ounces spaghetti, dried
1/4 cup pesto sauce
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp of the pepper, 1/2 tsp of the salt, and the garlic. Sprinkle evenly over chicken. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and onions; cook about 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink and onions are tender, turning chicken once and stirring onions occasionally.
2. Remove chicken from skillet; slice crosswise into strips. Return chicken to skillet; add tomatoes, tomato paste, ginger, the remaining pepper and salt. Cook and stir just until heated through.
3. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Return spaghetti to the hot pan; stir in pesto.
4. Serve check and tomato mixture on top of pesto-coated spaghetti. If desired top with shards of Parmesan cheese.
