Chicken Cacciatore with Rigatoni



Another home run from The Carb Lover's Diet Cookbook. Ed paged through the recipes over the weekend and requested this. Being the giving and loving wife that I am, I complied and we had this for a Saturday night dinner. I think it's his new fav. He went bananas. We ate it while watching Pioneer Woman preparing a hungry man meal for her husband, so it was quite fitting. Here's the recipe:
