Ingredients

  • 8 oz uncooked whole wheat fettuccine
  • 2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped (2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey breast
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package. Cover to keep warm.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is crisp-tender. Stir in remaining ingredients except fettuccine; reduce heat to medium.
  • 3
    Cover; cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot and tomatoes are soft. Serve over fettuccine.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Whole wheat flour is a great way to help fill your day with fiber. Fiber works to maintain your digestive system by keeping things moving.
  • tip 2
    No fresh tomatoes? Two cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen® diced tomatoes, drained, make a great substitute. Keep a stash of canned tomatoes so you can make this quick dinner anytime!
  • tip 3
    Many different olive oils are available. Extra-virgin, from the first pressing of the olives, has a fruity flavor that doesn't take well to heat. Go ahead and use the less-expensive pure olive oil when heating the oil.
