Add the onion, remaining oregano and sundried tomatoes, cooking until softened. Stir in the chicken stock, mascarpone, Napolina Herbs and Garlic Flavour Booster, basil leaves, Parmigiano Reggiano, and a little salt and pepper. Mix until the sauce becomes glossy, rich, and creamy. 4. Toss the cooked Napolina Rigatoni into the sauce, folding gently so every piece is coated. 5. Slice the cooked chicken breasts, then serve the pasta into bowls, topping with the sliced chicken, fresh basil leaves, and an extra sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano. Enjoy! Love this recipe?
