Italian seasoning

Heat olive oil in a skillet until it shimmers. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned

don't do this.
Pour in reserved pasta water and add mushrooms
artichoke hearts
sun-dried tomatoes

cream and Cheddar cheese. Whisk until sauce is slightly thickened. Add rigatoni and toss to combine.
Add rigatoni and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Note
You can use the oil from either the artichoke hearts
sun dried tomatoes or both instead of the herb-infused olive oil.You can substitute flour for tapioca starch but I just like the silky texture the tapioca starch gives.I used cave-aged Cheddar cheese for this recipe that I buy at a specialty store
but you can use Cabot extra sharp Cheddar cheese instead.
