Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions until just al dente. Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer. Stir the chicken, olives and cream, if using, into the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 mins.
- Drain the pasta and immediately toss into the sauce. Take off the heat and allow it to sit for a few mins. Serve in bowls with a few drops of Tabasco sauce on each one. Top with Parmesan and torn basil.
- Our homemade tomato sauce recipe is a great freezer staple. One batch is enough to make this chicken arrabbiata pasta recipe, plus this spicy sausage pizza and this vegetarian chilli.
- Tip: Penne or rigatoni are good pasta shapes for this sauce.
