Chicken & Bocconcini With Delicious Chunky Sauce image

I used http://www.food.com/recipe/vegetarian-pasta-sauce-167014 as my recipe base because I wanted something chunky & rich to go with my cheese. Many thanks for sharing that recipe because it was PERFECT.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion (sliced)
3 small garlic cloves (crushed)
500 g chicken (cubed)
2 (400 g) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (140 g) can tomato paste
1 large carrot (diced)
1 celery (sliced)
3 fresh basil leaves (torn)
1 tablespoon mixed Italian herbs
salt & pepper
250 g cherry bocconcini (although more would be a bonus)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pan (big enough for the entire dish) and saute onions & garlic and brown chicken.
  • Add the tomatos, paste and vegetables.
  • Add all herbs and seasoning.
  • Bring sauce to a boil and then simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • Once sauce is set to simmer, prepare pasta.
  • When water for pasta is boiling, add the bocconcini to the sauce and stir through. You're aiming for the cheese to be a little melty but still hold most of it's shape.
  • When pasta is ready, serve and enjoy!
  • Belissimo!
