PENNE POLLO ALLA GORGONZOLA

Provided by The Italian Cook

Categories     Penne

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups penne pasta, cooked al dente (enough to absorb sauce but with a little left over)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped roma tomato
salt and pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 1/2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 chicken breast, cut into 16 pieces

Steps:

  • Using a medium saute pan, add oil, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and then saute until mushrooms are soft.
  • Add chicken about halfway through the saute (you can also use grilled chicken and add it at the end if you want).
  • Now add cream and half and half mixture with the gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan; put back on a medium flame; reduce until bubbles thicken, but don't overcook! The sauce will become clumpy on noodles once served, if overcooked.
  • Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper for taste (you most likely will have to do this).
  • If you precooked the noodles warm them up in a hot water bath before adding to the sauce.
  • Add a little water to the sauce with the noodles because the noodles really absorb the sauce.
  • Note: This recipe should make 1 serving and you usually add about a handful and a half of cooked penne to the sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is so delicious, and I hope my amounts are correct!
