Preparation Steps
- Mix 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Add the spice mixture to the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes until nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Keep oil in the Dutch oven. Add another tablespoon of olive oil, then sauté the onion with ¼ teaspoon salt for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, carrots, and celery; cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, brown sugar, and Worcestershire; whisk together. Bring to a boil.
- Return chicken to the Dutch oven, stir, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring periodically.
- Once thickened and flavors meld, remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
- While resting, cook pasta according to package instructions. Serve sauce over pasta, topped with Parmesan and chopped basil.
