I prefer ground chicken to beef in my marinara sauce. The chicken showcases the flavors of the herbs much better than beef.

Ingredients
| 16 |
oz dry whole wheat spaghetti |
| 10 |
oz ground chicken |
| 2 |
tbsp basil |
| 2 |
tbsp sage |
| 1 |

Directions
- Chop the garlic, onions, tomatoes, and herbs. Mix the chopped herbs together in a small bowl.
- Boil spaghetti until al dente.
- While spaghetti is boiling, over medium heat saute ground chicken in olive oil with 2 tbsp of herb mixture and some salt and pepper for about 3 minutes or until chicken is completely white. Add garlic and onions and saute for an additional 2-4 minutes or until onions become mostly transparent. Add tomatoes, the rest of the herb mixture, red wine, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue stirring sauce periodically while it simmers for about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir while it simmers for another 5-7 minutes.
