Method

1. Boil the spaghetti according to the instructions on the package, then drain it and set it aside, reserving only a little of the cooking water.
2. Cut the chicken into cubes, season with salt and chicken seasoning, then sauté in olive oil in a pan until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté the onion cut into strips or wedges.
4. When the onion softens, add the diced red pepper. You can add more types of chopped vegetables at this stage, as desired.
5. Stir the ingredients until cooked, without over-stirring so the vegetables do not wilt and melt.
6. Add the chicken back over the vegetables and add 1 tablespoon of red pesto.
7. Add a little of the spaghetti broth, meaning the cooking water.
8. Let it boil for a few minutes, then add the pre-boiled spaghetti with 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
9. Stir and leave the spaghetti to boil for a few more minutes until the flavors come together, then turn off the heat.
10. Garnish with chopped green onions, or as desired.
11. Note: red pesto, or red pesto sauce, is one of the sauces of Italian cuisine. It consists of sun-dried tomatoes, dried sweet peppers, garlic, basil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and olive oil (in varying amounts).
