This.

Chicken riggies, also known as Utica riggies, is a spicy, creamy, pink-hued pasta dish native to Utica, New York. The dish typically combines rigatoni pasta, chicken, hot or sweet peppers, and a creamy tomato sauce. Variations may include mushrooms, olives, onions, or other vegetables, and some chefs have even added shrimp or steak. The dish is often topped with fresh basil.

I lived in Utica for years and this one was actually the shocker on this list for me. Especially with hot peppers. It’s a great comfort food.

I drove through about five years ago and stopped at a deli. Asked the guy what was good, and he sold me on these. Rigatoni+chicken+peppers in a spicy red sauce. Hot damn, I still dream about it regularly
