Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more/less to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes, regular or fire-roasted
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper (and more crushed red pepper if desired).
Top with parmesan cheese and serve.
