Chicken Bolognese With Rigatoni image

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.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 white onion, cut into small dice
2 carrots, cut into small dice
1 celery rib, cut into small dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, chopped
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth, heated
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 (1 lb) package rigatoni pasta
6 -7 basil leaves, chopped
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 T. of the olive oil; heat 1 minute. Add the chicken; cook, stirring and breaking up pieces, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper to taste. Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a colander to drain; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 T. of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery; cook, stirring, until they just start to color, 6 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste; cook until blended and fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all the liquid has evaporated, 5-7 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cook 3 minutes. Add the broth, cooked chicken, oregano, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoons of salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni; cook until al dente according to package directions.
  • Stir the basil and red pepper flakes into the sauce; adjust the seasoning. Drain pasta; toss with the sauce in a large serving bowl.

I'm allergic to tomatoes so I used a tomato-free pasta sauce. It was still really good.

I added some mushrooms and zucchini to the sauce and it was delicious.

I didn't have any rigatoni so I used penne instead. It worked out fine.

I followed the recipe exactly but the sauce didn't turn out very flavorful. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of red wine to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.
