Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Finely chop or grind the chicken thighs if not already done.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, and tarragon. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped or ground chicken thighs to the skillet.
- Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Allow the wine to simmer and reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the canned tomatoes, including their juices.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the sauce is simmering, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water, then add the gluten-free pasta.
- Cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Toss the cooked gluten-free pasta with the chicken bolognese sauce until well combined.
- Serve the pasta topped with the bolognese sauce.
- Sprinkle each serving with grated parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in some of the oregano and olive oil for a few hours before cooking.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Pre-grated cheese can sometimes contain additives that affect the taste and texture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the tomato mixture simmer for a longer period to allow it to reduce and concentrate the flavors.
- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat in your sauce.
- When cooking gluten-free pasta, be sure to follow the package instructions carefully as it can vary significantly from regular pasta in terms of cooking time.
- Reserve some pasta water before draining to help adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.
This Oregano Chicken Bolognese pairs beautifully with gluten-free pasta, creating a hearty and flavorful meal that everyone can enjoy. The combination of oregano, tarragon, and white wine adds depth to the sauce, while the tender chicken and rich tomatoes provide satisfying comfort. Topped with parmesan cheese, this dish is a delightful blend of classic Italian flavors and modern dietary considerations. Serve it up and savor the delicious harmony of ingredients.
