Angel Hair Pasta With Basil-Tomato Sauce (And Chicken)

Submitted by larchie

"Delicious and relatively healthy & light pasta dish. This is modified from "The Low Fat Good Food Cookbook," which in turn modified from a restaurant, Villa Romano, in Nashville, TN. I have added grilled chicken to it - to make it into a main course, but you can try it without or with some other sort of meat..."

Needed to use up some tomatoes and basil real fast so the sauce is cooked and later will do the pasta with shrimp to add. I know it will be great
