Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti

  • 8 oz spaghetti

Ground Chicken

  • 1 lb ground chicken

Olive Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Onion

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Garlic

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Bell Peppers

  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped

Canned Tomatoes

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

Italian Seasoning

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt & Pepper

  • To taste

Parmesan Cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cook the Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Incorporate the Tomatoes: Pour in the canned tomatoes, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing well to coat the pasta evenly with the delicious chicken bolognese sauce.

Notes

  • Prep Ahead: Chop your veggies in advance to save time during cooking.
  • Use Frozen Vegetables: For even quicker prep, frozen bell peppers and onions can be a great shortcut.
  • Experiment with Sauces: Try different brands or styles of canned tomatoes for varied flavors.
  • Adjust Cooking Times: Depending on your stove, you may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
  • Double the Recipe: Make a larger batch to enjoy leftovers or freeze for later.
