CHICKEN BOLOGNESE WITH RIGATONI

This dish calls for a mirepoix, a mixture of diced celery, carrot, and onion. Of course, you can chop these fresh, but I totally cheat and use the pre-chopped mixture from Trader Joe's. If your supermarket carries it and it fits your budget, go ahead and spend the money to save the time.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground chicken (white or dark meat, or a mixture of both)
1/2 cup peeled and diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced yellow onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
One (24-ounce) jar premade spaghetti sauce (see Cook's Note)
1 pound rigatoni pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
6 tablespoons ricotta cheese, optional
Chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, shallow saucepot over medium heat, brown the ground chicken. Add the carrot, celery, and onion and season with the salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 6 minutes, then add the Italian seasoning. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables soften and take on a little color.
  • Add the sauce to the pot and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions. Add the drained rigatoni to the sauce and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat.
  • Serve the rigatoni and sauce topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano and a sprinkle of basil or parsley. In our family, we've always eaten rigatoni with a scoop of ricotta on the side. If it sounds good to you, add a tablespoon of ricotta to each plate.

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste your dish as you cook and adjust the seasonings accordingly. This is the best way to ensure that your dish is perfectly seasoned.
