I
always jar/preserve my own tomatoes. So that,by mid January, I can open a jar
and BAM... "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day"...Its so amazing that they are so fresh that they smell as if they were just picked. Its always exciting when its their first
time in a sauce. And, that's all I am gonna say...
For this dish you will need home jarred tomatoes, skinless/boneless chicken thighs (as per guest), pappardelle (wide egg noodle) pasta. Now, if you don't have home jarred tomatoes, then I recommend Red Gold whole tomatoes. Also, you will need one whole onion, fresh garlic and dried herbs: rosemary, oregano, basil and some mint but not necessary.
To begin, saute chopped onion in a covered skillet along with crushed garlic in olive oil. Next, add the chicken thighs to brown on both sides. Once, browned, dump in one large jar/can of whole tomatoes and toss in fresh dried herbs. Let this simmer while you prepare the pasta.
Once
the pasta is tender, drain and ladle into a deep serving plate and top
with the chicken in sauce. Toss over the top grated mozzarella cheese
and serve with grated Parmesan cheese. Its really the simplicity and
fresh garden tomatoes that provide all the flavor you have ever dreamed
of eating.
