  • Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onion, carrot and bell pepper. Cook and stir until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the tomato, tomato paste and Parmesan. Add the basil and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Once chicken is cooked through, stir in the Gemelli pasta.
  • Serve and enjoy!

  1. This was incredibly delicious! I used chicken tenderloin, which I diced up, and a drained 14.5 oz. can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes for the tomato. The flavor was over-the-top and the gemelli is the perfect pasta for this sauce. I will definitely be making this again. Made for Fall PAC 2012.
