Fresh Herb Penne With Chicken and Tomatoes

I found this on recipezaar and it turned out yummy. I added the crushed red pepper flakes and it gave it a nice zip.

• 14 1/2 ounces penne
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
• 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes (undrained)
• 1/3 cup basil, fresh, chopped
• 10 ounces chicken breasts, cooked (can use chicken breast strips - 1 package)
• 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
• salt and black pepper
• crushed red peppper flakes to taste (optional)

Directions

1. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
2. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Add tomatoes and basil; cook 2 minutes. Add chicken; simmer for 5 minutes. Toss with pasta and Mozzarella cheese. Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
3. Note: if you do not have fresh basil or garlic, you may substitute 1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder.
