– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 oz pasta of your choice

Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add the chicken broth, dried oregano, and dried basil to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. While the chicken mince mixture is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a separate pot. Remember to salt the pasta water for added flavor.
6. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the chicken mince. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta with the delicious sauce.
7. Let the Chicken Mince and Pasta simmer together for a few more minutes so the flavors continue to marry. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
8. Serve the Chicken Mince and Pasta hot, garnished with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
