1 day agoChicken Riggies
Chicken riggies is a regional Italian-American rigatoni dish from upstate New York featuring a creamy, spicy tomato sauce brightened by pickled hot cherry peppers.
With a colloquial name like chicken riggies (short for rigatoni), this regionally famous pasta dish is the epitome of "if you know, you know." But in case you don't: It's as if a creamy tomato vodka sauce had a spunkier cousin, boosted by the zing of pickled hot cherry peppers. It's an Italian American hybrid dish with origins in the "Littler" Italys of central and upstate New York.
