Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • Prepare the Sauce Base: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until well combined.

  • Incorporate Cream and Seasonings: Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet.

  • Simmer the Sauce: Let the sauce cook for a few minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens.

  • Finish the Sauce: Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil. Remove the skillet from heat. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce until well coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

  • Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or broth if needed to loosen the sauce.

  • Freezing: Not recommended due to potential dairy separation when thawed.

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with vegetables and use vegetable broth.
