Chicken and Pasta

  • 3 oz. pancetta, finely diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 lb. package rigatoni pasta (cooked according to package)
  • 2 jars Classico spaghetti sauce (1-spicy red pepper and 1-tomato and basil)
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus a 1/4 cup for garnish at the end.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown the pancetta in a little oil, add the onion and cook till soft, (I like to deglaze with a splash of white wine here) then add the garlic and cook for a minute and set aside.  Add olive oil to a large fry pan or pot and brown the chicken, salt and pepper to taste.  Add the pancetta mixture to the cooked chicken and then stir in the spaghetti sauces, cream and bring to a boil.  Simmer for about 10 minutes and then add the basil and parmesan cheese.  Put into a 3 or 4 quart baking dish, cover and bake for approx. 40 minutes.  Top with a little more cheese and sprinkle with parsley for garnish.

Quick, easy and delicious:-)
