- 1 tbsp sundried tomato puree
- 6 basil leaves, finely chopped

Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a deep frying pan. Fry the onion and garlic at a medium heat. Let them soften but not colour.
- Wash the chicken breast and dice into bite sized pieces and add it to the onion and garlic. Let the chicken brown.

- Meanwhile, in a different pan cook the pasta in boiling water for 12 minutes and drain. (Tip: add a glug of olive oil to the water to stop the pasta from sticking together.)
