Preheat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat.

Add olive oil spray to the pot.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Step 11

Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken stock, white wine, and tomato paste.

Bring the liquid to a boil, and then add the dry pasta and the pre-cooked chicken. Stir to submerge the ingredients in the liquid.

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce to a simmer.

Step 14

Cook for 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender.

Step 15

Stir in the additional 1 tsp of salt and the additional 1/2 tsp of garlic.
