Quicker Chicken Spaghetti Bolognese is a lighter, faster twist on the Italian classic, using ground chicken for a leaner sauce that cooks in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan and fresh basil, for serving

Instructions

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery; sauté 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking up with a spoon.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer 10–12 minutes until slightly thickened.
