A rich and creamy pasta dish featuring sun-dried tomatoes and shredded chicken, perfect for a comforting yet fancy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon flour
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 small handful fresh basil, torn or chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
  2. When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it melts, sprinkle the flour in and cook for about a minute, stirring often.
  3. Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and wine. Give it a good stir and let it bubble for about one minute.
  4. Whisk in the cream, then stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, and chicken, and cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
  5. Stir in the parmesan and basil and take the skillet off the heat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Prior to draining the pasta, reserve some of the hot pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated. If needed, pour in a splash of the hot pasta water to thin it out a bit. Serve immediately with more parmesan if desired.

Notes

Serve hot on warm plates with extra grated parmesan and basil on top. Pair with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables.
