Preparation
Step 1
Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
Step 2
When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it melts, sprinkle the flour in and cook for about a minute, stirring often.
Step 3
Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and wine. Give it a good stir and let it bubble for about one minute.
Step 4
Whisk in the cream, then stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, and chicken, and cook it for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Step 5
Stir in the parmesan and basil and take the skillet off the heat. Season generously with salt & pepper.
Step 6
Prior to draining the pasta, reserve some of the hot pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated. If needed, pour in a splash of the hot pasta water to the sauce to thin it out a bit. Serve immediately with more parmesan if desired.
