Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 pound spaghetti I used Barilla Protein+
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup roasted red bell pepper strips
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped, plus additional for serving
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls Bocconcini size

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through. Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for a minute or two.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, pasta, tomatoes, onion, red peppers, basil, and cream. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. 
  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta has soaked up most of the liquid and the sauce has thickened. 
  • When the pasta is cooked, stir in the mozzarella and garnish with additional basil.
