1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
15 ounces can diced tomatoes
8 ounces can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil

4 mediums zucchini
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1/2 pound whole wheat penne pasta (or whatever type you like)

Preparation

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 2 Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan, with a lid. 3 Saute the garlic and red pepper flakes for about 30 seconds. 4 Pour in both cans of tomatoes, stirring to combine; season with basil, a pinch of salt and pepper. 5 Stir in the chicken and cover; cook for about 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. 6 Slice the zucchini lengthwise into four spears (half and then half again), then cut into 1/2 thick sections. 7 Stir zucchini in with chicken and cover; cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, until zucchini are tender; remove chicken as it cooks through. 8 When water comes to a boil, cook pasta according to package directions, about 10 minutes. 9 Drain pasta and toss with sauce and parmesan cheese; adjust seasoning to taste. 10 Serve immediately and enjoy!
