🥄 Texture

Silky, creamy sauce that clings to al dente pasta with tender, bite-sized pieces of chicken that offer a slight chew. The grated cheese adds a smooth, slightly stringy richness and the dish has a substantial, comforting mouthfeel without being heavy.

👃 Aroma

Warm, savory notes of cooked tomato and melted cheese mingle with rich dairy and buttery undertones. A mild roasted chicken scent and a hint of olive oil round out the aroma, giving an inviting, homestyle fragrance.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Crisp Pinot Grigio or a lightly oaked Chardonnay for white wine; alternatively a medium-bodied Chianti or Sangiovese if you prefer red. Non-alcoholic: sparkling water with a lemon twist.

🥗 Side Dishes

Simple mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette, garlic or herb bread to soak up the sauce, or roasted vegetables such as asparagus or zucchini.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    While pasta cooks, heat butter and oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Pour the tomato sauce into the pan with the chicken and stir well. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium and slowly pour in the cooking cream, stirring constantly. Add most of the grated cheese (save some for topping) and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss everything together until well combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes more. Serve hot with remaining cheese sprinkled on top.
