Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces uncooked rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 mango - peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
4 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rigatoni pasta, cook for 8 minutes, until almost done, and drain.
  • Heat 1/2 the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet, and cook 10 minutes, or until juices run clear. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet, and cook the onion and green pepper until tender. Mix in the garlic, ginger, and mango, and continue to cook and stir 5 minutes, or until mango is soft. Gradually mix the heavy cream into the skillet, and cook 5 minutes, until thickened.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the partially cooked pasta, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir 2 minutes, until ingredients are well blended and pasta is al dente. Mix in the cheese. Garnish with parsley to serve.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by removing the chili peppers from the sauce.

The mango cream sauce was a little too rich for my taste, but I was able to lighten it up by adding some yogurt.

The sauce was a little thin for my taste, so I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I especially liked the contrast between the sweet mango sauce and the savory chicken.

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by adding some lemon juice.
