Servings: persons

1 (16 ounce) box rigatoni pasta
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 large shallot, chopped
3 boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces, or more to taste
5 fresh cherry peppers, thinly sliced, or more to taste
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup whole milk

1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain.
2
Heat butter and oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallot to the skillet; cook and stir until fragrant and shallots are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until it is no longer pink and the internal temperature reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
3
Mix cherry peppers into chicken mixture; cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce; mix thoroughly. Lower heat to medium and simmer, 7 to 10 minutes.
4
Pour sherry into tomato sauce mixture; simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Pour in milk and simmer, about 5 minutes.
5
Remove from heat and mix in torn basil leaves. Spoon tomato sauce over pasta to serve.
