Chicken Cacciatore With Rigatoni - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. rigatoni
1 chicken, cut in pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 c. dry white wine
2 small jars or 1 large jar meatless spaghetti sauce
2 bay leaves
salt
pepper
1 oz. olive oil

Preparation

Brown chicken and chopped onion in olive oil.
When well browned, add salt, pepper and bay leaves.
Cook for a few minutes, turning pieces occasionally.
Add wine; cook until wine is almost evaporated.
Add your sauce.
Season with salt and pepper (onion and garlic if desired) to taste.
Simmer 1/2 hour or until tender. (I like to add a can or frozen package of peas for the last 10 minutes or so.)
Meanwhile, cook macaroni; pour on platter and cover with chicken and sauce.
Top with grated cheese, if desired.
