chicken and rigatoni (buccalotti)
(2 ratings)
My best friend from childhood and I both loved to cook. Her elderly Italian neighbor shared this recipe. She called it chicken buccalotti, but I've never found a reference to this except as a place name or family name. Her recipe called for rigatoni, so for general reference I call it chicken and rigatoni. Don't let the simplicity of the recipe fool you, it's perfect as it is! I've experimented over the years adding oregano, garlic, etc but it's never as good as the original.
