Method

Chicken Spedini

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Marinate the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Prepare Skewers

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.

Amogio

Prepare the Amogio Sauce

In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Finish the Sauce

Stir in chopped parsley, salt, and lemon juice. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pasta Sugo

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sugo

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add Garlic and Tomatoes

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add crushed tomatoes, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Toss the cooked pasta with the sugo until well coated. Serve with chicken spedini on top, drizzled with amogio.
