/ælˈdɛnteɪ/; Italian: [al
ˈdɛnte]) describes pasta and (less commonly) rice or beans that have
been cooked so as to be firm but not hard. "Al dente" also describes vegetables
that are cooked to the "tender crisp" phase - still offering
resistance to the bite, but cooked through. Keeping the pasta firm is
especially important in baked or "al forno" pasta dishes, where the
pasta is cooked twice. The term "al dente" comes from Italian and
means "to the tooth" or "to the bite", referring to the
need to chew the pasta due to its firmness. Pasta that is cooked al dente has a
lower glycemic index than pasta that is cooked soft."Ingredients needed for Cheesy Chicken Pasta:
- 1-16 oz package of pasta your favorite kind; Rotini, Farfalli Bow ties, Conchiglie Shells etc.
- 1-16 oz jar Cheesy Ragu Double Cheddar or Roasted Garlic Parmesan
- 10-12 oz chicken breast, cubed
- 3 oz French Fried Onions; French’s or any store brand will work
Instructions to make Cheesy Chicken Pasta:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Using a pan that can go from the stove top, directly in the oven, fill with water and heat to boiling. Dump in the pasta and cook until lightly al dente. Drain off any excess water.
- Pour the Ragu Cheese into the pasta, rinse the Ragu jar with a little milk and swish around and pour in the pasta, stir.
