Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut in bite-sized pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, diced
2 Cubanelle peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
2 hot cherry peppers, seeded and minced
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add rigatoni pasta and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until lightly browned on all sides, and no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.

  • Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.
