Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and herbs.
2. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown.
3. Remove the chicken to a plate.
4. Add onions and garlic to the same skillet and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
5. Add broth, then scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen the bits. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the broth reduce.
6. Add marinara sauce and red pepper flakes, then simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the cooked and drained pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and basil.
7. Add the cooked chicken on top. Toss to combine, then add more of any of the above ingredients until the sauce is just how you like it.
8. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan and a little basil on top.I am a "make it and taste it as I go" cook. I made this in a hurry tonight, and was amazed at the results; my girls could NOT get enough of it. (I love that kind of response, don't get it as often as I wish.) Fry ground chuck in small pan. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. After noodles are cooked, drain and drizzle with olive oil.
9. Mix in your spaghetti sauce. (I can't guarantee your results on this, because I'm spoiled; I am a "home canner" and have the BEST sauce on my shelf, a home canned marinara sauce that I use for lots of stuff—pizza, spaghetti, and of course, THIS.)
10. Add your fried hamburger, seasonings, cheese, and sour cream. Fold together and allow it all to combine and melt together, over low heat, for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
11. Serve to your family and be prepared to have it disappear before your very eyes.
