Equipment

  • skillet
  • pot

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 tablespoon flour
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked/rotisserie chicken shredded
  • cup freshly grated parmesan cheese plus more for serving
  • 1 small handful fresh basil torn/chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
  • When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it melts, sprinkle the flour in and cook for about a minute, stirring often.
  • Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and wine. Give it a good stir and let it bubble for about one minute.
  • Whisk in the cream, then stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, and chicken, and cook it for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
  • Stir in the parmesan and basil and take the skillet off the heat. Season generously with salt & pepper.
  • Prior to draining the pasta, reserve some of the hot pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated. If needed, pour in a splash of the hot pasta water to the sauce to thin it out a bit. Serve immediately with more parmesan if desired.

Notes

I don’t recommend subbing the heavy cream for anything with a lower fat content because the tomato in the sauce is likely to curdle it, and you’ll have to add more flour to thicken the sauce.
