Basil Chicken over Angel Hair Pasta

I am having a "clean out the pantry/freezer/fridge" week and did a search for some of the ingredients I had on hand. This recipe came up and it was perfect for what I needed. If you find that you want it to have a little more sauce, during the simmering step, add a little bit of Italian Salad Dressing. Delicious!

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
• 2  teaspoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup  finely chopped onion
• 1  garlic clove, chopped
• 2 1⁄2 cups chopped tomatoes
• 2  cups boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and cubed
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped fresh basil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  hot pepper sauce (I used Nando's)
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook angel hair pasta until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken, basil, salt and hot pepper sauce. Reduce heat to medium, and cover skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot and tomatoes are soft.
