Instructions
- Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté the onions and mushrooms until soft, about two minutes.
- Add the water, tomatoes (with all their seeds and juice), garlic, oregano, basil, parsley and hot sauce.
- Simmer over low heat for 6-10 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and enough water has evaporated to form a relatively thick sauce.
- Add salsa and chicken.
- Simmer until heated through.
- Cook pasta of your choice (I like fusilli or penne) until al dente.
- Serve sauce over hot pasta, top with parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
