That's kind of what I was thinking, but there are lots of varieties of pastas and sauces etc.

You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; ya make sure it doesn't stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs; heh?? And a little bit o' wine. An' a little bit o' sugar, and that's my trick.

chicken Parmesan served over spaghetti noodles, sauced poured over both. Sourdough bread baked and served alongside. Might not need a side dish, since you'll have the chicken breast and spaghetti.

I'd make it with a slightly sweet and seasoned sauce (plain tomato sauce flavored how you want).
Since time is limited, I doubt you can make your own sauce from all fresh ingredients, as usually a sauce would simmer for a day or two. So you can just take a shortcut like I described above.

Maybe a white wine to accompany?

Don't forget to wear your favorite Godfather T-shirt and smoke a cigar while watching.
