Ingredients

Chicken marinara is a well-loved dish, and it doesn't need much modification to make it a nutritious dinner option. The key to flavor with no added sugar is a long, slow simmer time, so plan this for a day when you can do a little meal prepping while the sauce bubbles away in the background.

2 (28 oz.) cans diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp. basil
1 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup red wine
16 oz. angel hair pasta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
