Pasta and Protein

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of olive oil, and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, and then slice into strips.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Roast the Garlic

    In the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 6

    Combine Everything

    Add the cooked rigatoni, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, sliced chicken, and shrimp to the sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and the spinach is wilted.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh basil, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Tuscan Duo Rigatoni!
