Ingredients
-
1 (8 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
-
1 tablespoon salt
-
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
1 tablespoon herb-infused olive oil
-
¼ cup tapioca starch
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
¾ cup water
-
⅓ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
-
¼ cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
-
2 tablespoons chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
-
3 cloves minced garlic
-
⅓ cup Chardonnay wine
-
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
-
2 ounces shredded aged Cheddar cheese
Directions
-
Bring a large pot with water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain and reserve pasta water.
-
Meanwhile, combine tapioca starch, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet until it shimmers. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. You might be tempted to add more olive oil or butter, don't do this.
-
Pour in reserved pasta water and add mushrooms, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes.
-
Mix in white wine, cream and Cheddar cheese. Whisk until sauce is slightly thickened. Add rigatoni and toss to combine.
-
Add rigatoni and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Note
You can use the oil from either the artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes or both instead of the herb-infused olive oil.
You can substitute flour for tapioca starch but I just like the silky texture the tapioca starch gives.
I used cave-aged Cheddar cheese for this recipe that I buy at a specialty store, but you can use Cabot extra sharp Cheddar cheese instead.
