The pasta in this recipe is cooked directly in the sauce—no need to set up a separate pot of water. Pre-fry it to make it more appealing and prevent it from becoming overcooked, then simmer it in a tomato sauce made with roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, and chicken breast. Serve sprinkled with fresh herbs and crumbled cheese.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring, until darkened, 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat, then add the tomatoes, chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper; set aside.
  2. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. In another large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes; remove to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, poblano, garlic, and cumin; cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Add the noodles to the skillet with the vegetables and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest, and continue simmering the pan over low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  4. Slice the chicken. Divide the pasta among plates and top with the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and queso fresco.
