    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 onion, sliced thin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch-wide  strips
1/2 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
a 14-to-16 ounce can tomatoes, chopped, including the juice
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon dried orégano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

  1. In a large saucepan sauté the onion, the garlic, and the bell pepper in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until the vegetables begin to brown. Add the chicken, the sausage, the tomatoes with the juice, the wine, the orégano, the basil, and the sugar and boil the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. While the mixture is boiling, in a kettle of boiling salted water boil the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it well. To the tomato mixture add the cream and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly. Divide the spaghetti between 2 plates and spoon the sauce over it.
