Method

Prepare Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Cook Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 2

    Sauté Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in minced garlic and diced red onion. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 4

    Add Peppers

    Add the sliced hot cherry peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Mix well to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Sprinkle crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over the pasta mixture. Season with black pepper and stir to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
