Cacciatore pasta is big on flavour and easy to make
Cacciatore in pasta takes all the goodness of a classic chicken stew and pairs it with a bowl of tender macaroni.
Cacciatore in pasta is inspired by the traditional Italian hunter-style stew. This recipe uses everyday ingredients – onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms – but cooks them slowly to bring out their best. Add a splash of white wine, a few pinches of dried herbs, and a generous grind of black pepper. Recipe compliments of FATTI’S & MONI’S.
