4 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup dry sherry or chicken broth
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp ground red pepper

While pasta is cooking, in a frying pan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside. Discard all but 2 tbsp drippings. Add garlic and chicken to pan. Cook over high heat, stirring, until meat is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Drain spaghetti and arran on a platter. Spoon chicken mixture over and sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
