Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the chicken has browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the carrots and onions and cook until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, Italian seasoning and bay leaf and let the spices toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and let that toast and start to get brown on the bottom of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the white wine and simmer until the wine has been absorbed into the meat. Add the evaporated milk and cook, stirring constantly, until it has cooked down. Add the tomato sauce, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is nice and thick and hearty, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and toss the pasta with the sauce, adding the reserved water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Garnish with the parsley and serve with grated Parmesan.

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.

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.

Here's a lightened up version of bolognese that really very good. Use all white ground chicken (or turkey) to keep this as low in fat as possible. This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe which I found in the Chicago Tribune some time ago.

Steps:
- Add enough oil to a large, deep sauté pan to coat the base and place over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onion, carrots and celery and sauté until glassy and just tender, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the sausage and beef to the pan, breaking it into walnut-size pieces, and brown well.
- Pour in the wine and keep at a rapid simmer until the pan is almost dry. Then pour in 1 1/2 cups beef bouillon and lower the heat to medium. Simmer gently, uncovered, until the bouillon is nearly gone, stirring now and then. Meanwhile, chop the rehydrated porcini into small pieces, reserving the liquid.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add mushroom liquid to the sauce to cover the meat halfway (about 1 cup) along with the porcini and continue simmering until the sauce is loose but not soupy, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper; it should be highly seasoned. When the consistency is right, fold the cream in. Remove from the heat and cover.
- When the pasta water is at a full boil, add the rigatoni and cook until still firm, but not hard, in the center. When the pasta is almost done, scoop out 1 cup of pasta water and reserve. Drain the pasta and then return it to the pot. Pour the pasta sauce on top and fold in with a wooden spoon. The pasta should not be dry. Add a little pasta water or mushroom liquid to loosen it. (It will continue to soak up sauce on the way to the table.) Serve in one large bowl or in individual bowls, passing the cheese at the table.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Look for fresh, organic vegetables, and high-quality chicken.
- Brown the chicken well: Browning the chicken adds flavor and depth to the sauce. Be sure to brown the chicken in a hot skillet until it is golden brown on all sides.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for a long time allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around: This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming overcooked.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Chicken bolognese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying sauce that the whole family will love.
