Preparation

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

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

2. Prepare the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Vegetables

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

4. Create the Sauce

Pour in the Marsala wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Stir in the heavy cream and sweet peas, cooking for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
