Chicken Rigatoni

Chicken Rigatoni (Similar to Carmela's Chicken at Macaroni Grill)

INGREDIENTS
            2 T. olive oil
                 4 T. butter
            8 
ounces mushrooms
            12 
ounces grilled chicken
            salt and pepper
            2 
teaspoons basil
            6 
ounces caramelized onion
            6 
ounces marsala cooking wine
            20 
ounces heavy cream
            24 
ounces rigatoni pasta -or- two bunches of broccolini, lightly sautéed 
            2 
ounces parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
In a hot sauté pan add butter, oil, mushrooms, chicken, basil, caramelized onions, salt and pepper and sauté for approximately 60 to 90 seconds. 

Add the wine and sauté for 60 seconds. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil over high heat. Dip pre-cooked pasta in boiling water for 10 seconds, drain thoroughly. 

Put pasta in sauté pan and sauté until well incorporated. Toss briefly over fire, add parmesan cheese and continue to toss until cheese is completely incorporated. 

Transfer to plate, garnish with parsley.

*I prefer to replace the rigatoni with lightly sautéed broccolini for a lower carb dish.
