  • 1 White Wine

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil at medium high

  2. 2

    Add onion, Mirepoix (carrot, shallot, celery), Garlic, pepperoncini

  3. 3

    Let the pan glaze - you want to see the brown fond on the bottom of the pan. It shouldn’t be black but should be fairly pronounced.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with white wine.

  5. 5

    Let the pan glaze again, same story fond on bottom, fairly pronounced. This happens when the water leaves the pan.

  6. 6

    Deglaze with chicken stock - I didn’t measure 1 cup? ½ cup? Up to you

  7. 7

    Let pan glaze a third time

  8. 8

    Add tomatoes and deglaze pan for final time. I broke them up using something like a potato masher that Karli got me.

  9. 9

    Add 2 cups of chicken stock and a healthy amount of red wine.

  10. 10

    Let the sauce reduce to the consistency you want, we let it reduce by about half or so. Play with it.

  11. 11

    Cook Pasta according to instructions.

  12. 12

    Add chicken thighs and combine with pasta once its cooked.

  13. 13

    We added hot sauce and crushed red pepper because we like it hot. You might want to play with this and tailor it to your liking.

  14. 14

    Serve!
