Choose your portion size.
PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserve the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
SAUCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the Garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata and 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until thickening, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
BUTTERFLY THE Chicken BREAST
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness.
CRUMB
Whisk 1 egg in a bowl. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the flour (seasoned lightly), and one containing the crumb. Coat the butterflied Chicken breast with the NOMU rub and season. Coat the chicken in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess flour. Coat in the whisked egg, and lastly the crumb. Set aside.
