Ingredients

  • 1 box uncooked Dreamfields Spaghetti
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 7 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, drained (reserve liquid)
  • 15 Kalamata or black olives, pitted and finely chopped
  • 4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons capers, drained (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan.
  2. Meanwhile, heat half of olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add half of chicken pieces. Cook about 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, stirring frequently. Remove chicken from skillet. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken. Remove chicken from skillet.
  3. Add garlic to skillet. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until golden, watching carefully so garlic does not burn. Once garlic begins to turn golden, add tomatoes. Cook 2 minutes; stir in olives, anchovies, capers, tomato puree and red pepper flakes. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Return chicken to skillet; heat through. Add spaghetti, toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper as desired. If sauce is too thick, add all or part of the reserved tomato liquid until sauce is desired consistency.

About Digestible Carbohydrates: Dreamfields patent-pending process adds a unique blend of protein and inulin fiber (a 100% natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes), asparagus, garlic, raisins and chicory root) to premium durum wheat semolina, resulting in a pasta with 5 grams fiber per serving (about twice that of regular pasta), a 65% lower glycemic index (GI) than regular pasta (Dreamfields GI = 13; regular pasta GI = 38), and 5 grams digestible carbohydrates per serving, which results in a lower blood glucose rise compared to that following consumption of regular pasta.
Note: If traditional pasta is used in this recipe there is a total of 55g carbohydrate.
