Chicken Rigatoni D

I made this for the girls on Thursday night, then added some extra cheese and baked it.

You will need:
1 box of rigatoni pasta (cook and drain)
1 onion chopped
1 basket of mushrooms
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup white wine
basil (fresh or dried)
Olive oil
chicken breast (wash, dry and cut into bite size pieces)

All over medium heat...salt and pepper the chicken. Saute in some olive oil until cooked through. Set aside in a bowl.

In the same large skillet. Saute the onion in about 1 Tbs Olive oil until translucent, add in the garlic and mushrooms and saute until caramelized. Add in a palm full of basil. (You may need to add more oil. Can you tell I made this recipe up?) Add the chicken back in.

Then add the wine. Let the wine cook down a few minutes. Next add the cream and stir in some salt and lots of pepper. Let this simmer for about 4 minutes.

Take off the heat and toss in the pasta and the parm.

If you want to make this into a baked dish- layer the mixture with Mozzarella cheese and bake covered at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. The cheese simply needs to melt.
