Ingredients
1 lb. bonless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks4 oz dry spaghetti1/4 cup grated parmesan2 tsp olive oil1 clove garlic1/2 lemon2 tbsp pine nuts (optional)5-6 basil leaves, chiffonaded
Directions
1. First, start your garlic oil. Pour in olive oil and chopped up garlic into a small frying pan and let it cook over low, until the garlic starts to brown on edges. Immediately remove from heat and reserve.

2. While that’s starting up, boil up some spaghetti.

3. Chiffonade some basil leaves. Here I have pathetically limp basil leaves, but fresh is, as usual, the best.

4. Then you take some cheese, the pine nuts (optional) and dump them into a large bowl with the garlic oil, garlic chunks and all.

5. Squeeze in lemon juice. Throw in the spaghetti and toss until well combined.

Plate, crack some black pepper on it and enjoy!
