Method

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions until just al dente. Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer. Stir the chicken, olives and cream, if using, into the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 mins.

  2. Drain the pasta and immediately toss into the sauce. Take off the heat and allow it to sit for a few mins. Serve in bowls with a few drops of Tabasco sauce on each one. Top with Parmesan and torn basil.

Tip: Penne or rigatoni are good pasta shapes for this sauce.
