Steps

1Cook your rigatoni pasta according to instructions. Drain and set aside.
2While the pasta is being cooked, heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, and chopped onion and saute for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
3Add in the chicken mince, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, some salt, and black pepper. Gently break the mince apart with a spatula, coat with the seasonings, and cook until the chicken is fully cooked. It will take about 6-8 minutes.
4While you’re cooking the chicken, blend marinara sauce and cottage cheese together. It should come out smooth and creamy.
5Once the chicken has fully cooked, pour the blend into the skillet, add in cooked rigatoni, and stir all the ingredients to combine well. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until all the ingredients warm up.
6Garnish with parmesan cheese and basil before serving.
