Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until soft, 10–12 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Increase heat to medium, add puréed tomatoes, and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and flavors have come together, 20–25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Step 2 Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente (about 2 minutes before it would be done). Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking liquid. Step 3 As soon as pasta is ready, pluck out and discard basil. Set skillet over high heat and stir in reserved pasta cooking liquid to loosen sauce; bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring, until sauce coats pasta and pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Add butter and Parmesan and toss until butter and cheese are melted. Divide pasta among bowls. chicken instructions: Step 1 While the pasta sauce is cooking, prepare the chicken. Slice the chicken breasts in half and season with salt & pepper. Step 2 Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, add the flour to a plate and add the breadcrumbs onto another plate. Dip the chicken slices in the egg, let any excess drip off, then dip each side in the crumbs. Fry in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 6 minutes, or until golden, turning halfway. Transfer to an oiled baking tray, finely grate over most of the cheese and pop into the oven. Step 3 When everything is ready, top the pasta with the chicken and serve.
