How to Make Rigatoni With Chicken Ragout

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the saucepan. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce slightly, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs and mix well.
  6. While the sauce simmers, cook the rigatoni according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  7. Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
