Ingredients 

  • 2 ½ cups (150 g) dried rigatoni pasta
  • 1 pound (454 g) boneless skinless chicken breast diced
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 10 ounce (284 g) cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (237 ml) chicken stock
  • ¼ cup (59 ml) marsala wine
  • Splash or two of whole milk
  • ½ cup (50 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add in pasta once the water has boiled and cook the pasta according to directions on the box. Drain pasta after it's done cooking.
    2 1/2 cups dried rigatoni pasta
  • Meanwhile, cut up the chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper.
    1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken until it's just cooked through.
  • Add onions, mushrooms, and garlic and cook until mushrooms have shrunk down in size and onions translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
    1 medium onion, 10 ounce cremini mushrooms, 3 cloves garlic
  • Melt butter in the skillet then add chicken stock and marsala wine. Cook until 1/2 the liquid has cooked off.
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 cup chicken stock, 1/4 cup marsala wine
  • Add the splash of milk (or heavy cream, if desired) and continue to let thicken. Cut the heat and add the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate and until it melts. Add the pasta and stir some more.
    Splash or two of whole milk, 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, Salt and pepper
  • The sauce might seem more liquid than thick but it thickens as it cools.
  • Toss gently before serving and top with more cheese, if desired.
