Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Serves 4

320g spaghetti

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, sliced

½ fresh chilli, finely diced

500f chicken breast, cut into 2cm cubes

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

30 Spanish green olives, pitted and halved

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Fill a large stockpot with salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir often. Cook until al dente for 8–10 minutes, but check packet instructions.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat, add the garlic and the chilli and cook for 1 minute.

Season the chicken with salt and fresh black pepper and add it to the pan; cook it with the chilli and garlic for around 6 minutes. Now add the Spanish green olives.

Drain the pasta into a colander, and place it in the saucepan and mix well. Add the lemon zest and juice and stir. Add the parsley and serve immediately.
