Penne Rosa with Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Creamy Penne Rosa with Crispy Parmesan Chicken Ingredients: For the chicken: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated 2 egg whites, beaten For the pasta: 1 pound penne pasta For the sauce: 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 cup mushrooms, sliced 2 cups spinach, fresh For garnish: 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Directions: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the penne in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside. Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten egg whites and then press into the Parmesan cheese to coat both sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the chicken for about 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the coating is golden and crispy. While the chicken bakes, heat the Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan over low heat. Let it simmer gently. In a separate skillet, sauté the mushrooms and spinach until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach has wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir the cooked vegetables into the simmering sauce. Slice the baked chicken into strips. Toss the cooked penne with the sauce and arrange the sliced chicken on top. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta 😋🥓🐔 Ingredients: 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded) 6 strips bacon Salt/Pepper (to taste) 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 cups uncooked pasta (I used rotini) 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon garlic (minced) 2 cups half and half 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing seasoning mix Directions: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over low heat (low and slow is best for bacon). Set aside and pour bacon drippings into a small bowl. Carefully wipe the skillet clean. Roughly chop the bacon once cooled. Cut the chicken breasts into thinner slices, 2-3 slices each. They will plump up more when cooked. Pat dry and season each side with a light sprinkling of salt/pepper, as well as onion powder and Italian seasoning. Heat 2 Tbsp. bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Olive or vegetable oil may also be used in lieu of drippings. Sear the chicken on each side for 3-4 minutes, until a golden brown crust has developed. Set aside on a plate once cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut into cubes of desired size. Now is a good time to boil salted water and cook the pasta. Drain once finished. Prepare the sauce while the pasta boils. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute. Add the flour and use a silicone spatula to stir continuously for 1 more minute. Temper the half and half by heating in the microwave for 40 seconds. Add it to the skillet in splashes, stirring as you do so. Bring it to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to low. Add the Ranch seasoning and stir to combine. Gradually stir in the cheese. (Note: It will continue to thicken upon standing.) Add the pasta to the skillet and use a silicone spatula to carefully combine with the sauce. Add the chicken and allow it to heat back up a bit. Garnish with bacon or stir it right into the sauce and serve. Enjoy! ❤️ #pasta #chickenpasta #bacon #ranchdressing #comfortfood #cheesypasta #weeknightdinner #easyrecipe #foodie #delicious #homecooking #tasty #quickmeals #familydinner #dinnerideas

Pasta alla Brontese (Creamy Fettuccine with Pancetta & Pistachios) from @nytcooking Holy moly, this was heavenly!! The sauce was simple: chopped pancetta or prosciutto (I used the latter), minced onion, white wine, heavy cream, and a magical crumbly mixture of pulsed pistachios and Parmesan. ✨ What's with the name? The dish is apparently named after the town of Bronte, Sicily, which is known for its "green gold" pistachios that are so special, they've been granted a protected designation of origin (PDO). 💚💛 Recipe is by @annafgass #nytcooking #pasta #pistachios #pistachiopasta #pancettapasta #prosciuttopasta #creamsaucepasta #weeknightpasta #weeknightdinner #weeknightmeals #easypasta
