Tomato has its place, and vodka is always welcome in our pastas and shot glasses, but for our money, nothing makes pasta sing like Alfie here. Rich and warm, it bathes the veggies and pasta here with pure flavor. And if you need to dredge your fork up over the plate to get the last bits of Alfredo… we aren't judging.

Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry, and on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up until burger reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry and cook until shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. Add to rigatoni as desired.
