Ingredients

  • about 5 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • red pepper flakes
  • 4 to 6 garlic cloves, chopped or sliced
  • 3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • grated Romano cheese (optional)
  • basil leaves

Method

  • Cut white meat chicken up into 1-inch pieces.
  • Pit the kalamata olives and cut each olive into 3 or 4 pieces.
  • Chop or slice garlic.
  • Cut the basil leaves into strips.
  • Begin heating a large pot of salted water to boiling.
  • When water begins to boil, add pasta.
  • Don't overcook!
  • When done, drain pasta and put in a large pasta bowl.
  • Drizzle liberally with olive oil, then salt and pepper to taste (I like plenty of pepper here) and stir.
