Ingredients:
1 lb penne pasta, cooked until al dente,drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb ground chicken
3 cups tomato sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
salt and pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large pot.
Add the ground chicken and brown, stirring constantly.
When the chicken has cooked through, add the tomato sauce, brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook, stirring every 2 minutes or so, until the red stuff in the pot has cooked down to a velvety sauce.
Mix the pasta with the sauce, distributing it evenly.
Pour into a greased baking dish.
Top with the pine nuts (these can be toasted lightly first in a dry frying pan over medium heat, just take care they don’t burn, and pine nuts burn easily, so be careful).
Bake uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, until heated through.
