Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- To the ricotta container, add 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) chili flakes. (Like things spicy? Add more chili flakes!) Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- To the boiling water, add rigatoni. Cook for 12-13 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
- Strain rigatoni, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- To a foil-linked baking sheet, add chicken and 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Broil in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, heat a medium oven-proof pan (large oven-proof pan for 4 servings) over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- To the pan with peppers, add garlic and remaining garlic salt, then season with pepper. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add crushed tomatoes, broth concentrate and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook for 5-8 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
- To the pan with sauce, add chicken, rigatoni, spinach, reserved pasta water and half the mozzarella.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer to an 8x8-inch baking dish for 2 servings, or a 9x13-inch baking dish for 4 servings.)
- Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, then dollop seasoned ricotta over top.
- Broil in the middle of the oven for 3-5 min, until cheese is golden.
- Let rigatoni al forno cool for 5 min.
- Divide between plates.
- Sprinkle parsley over top.
- Sprinkle with remaining chili flakes, if you like.
