CARMELA'S CHICKEN RIGATONI (COPYCAT ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL)



Carmela's Chicken Rigatoni (Copycat Romano's Macaroni Grill) image

This is the actual Macaroni Grill recipe for Carmela's Chicken Rigatoni. At home, I use a combination of olive oil (2 T) and butter (4T) instead of butter flavored oil (less overall as well). In addition, I use Kittencal's recipe for caramelized onions http://www.food.com/recipe/kittencals-caramelized-onions-89007.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces butter-flavored oil
8 ounces mushrooms
12 ounces grilled chicken
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons basil
6 ounces caramelized onion
6 ounces cooking wine
20 ounces heavy cream
24 ounces rigatoni pasta
2 ounces parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a hot sauté pan add butter flavored oil, mushrooms, chicken, basil, caramelized onions, salt and pepper and sauté for approximately 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Add the wine and sauté for 60 seconds. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil over high heat. Dip pre-cooked pasta in boiling water for 10 seconds, drain thoroughly.
  • Put pasta in sauté pan and sauté until well incorporated. Toss briefly over fire, add parmesan cheese and continue to toss until cheese is completely incorporated.
  • Transfer to plate, garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and spices whenever possible. Dried herbs and spices can also be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • If you don't have a pasta roller, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the pasta dough.
  • To make the cannelloni easier to roll, place the pasta dough on a lightly floured surface.
  • If you don't have a baking dish that is large enough to fit all of the cannelloni, you can bake them in batches.
  • Serve the cannelloni with your favorite marinara sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Romano's Macaroni Grill Chicken Cannelloni is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender chicken, creamy cheese, and flavorful marinara sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
