creamy garlic penne pasta with chicken

Baked 3 Cheese Penne with Chicken and Pancetta

0 · Dec 16, 2017 · 8 Comments

Happy week before Christmas food friends! I planned out our meals this week with as little cooking as possible to ensure there were not many leftovers in the refrigerator to save room for all the Christmas dinner items soon to be taking up residence in there. Tonight leftover Baked 3 Cheese Penne with Chicken and Pancetta + leftover Pulled Pork turned into tacos. My goal is by the time Friday rolls around to have as little leftovers as possible since we are out each night until Christmas Day and it’s our turn to host dinner!

This Baked 3 Cheese Penne is made with a three cheese sauce that thinks it’s an alfredo sauce. Seriously. But it’s better because it’s home made and entirely delicious featuring provolone, parmesan and asiago cheese. I tossed in some leftover pancetta and cooked the chicken in the bacon fat. Cheese in the sauce, cheese on top, bake it for 25 minutes and dinner is on the table.

This recipe was loved by the family so I’m definitely making it again!

Baked 3 Cheese Penne with Chicken and Pancetta
Author: Wanda Baker
Recipe type: Dinner
 
Ingredients
  • 4 slices (15g) pancetta, large dice
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 lb (450-500g) penne
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 cups provolone, shredded
  • ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes
  • 1 cup parmesan, shredded
  • ½ cup asiago, shredded
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400. Grease casserole dish and set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick pan cook pancetta over medium heat. Remove with slotted spoon onto paper towel lined plate. Leave bacon grease in pan.
  3. Half chicken breasts lengthwise. Then cut crosswise into smaller pieces. Season well with salt and pepper. Add to pan with leftover bacon grease and cook until no longer pink (3-5 minutes). With slotted spoon remove to plate with bacon.
  4. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente.Drain and lay out on baking sheet to cool off without sticking.
  5. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and garlic cooking for about 1 minute. Pour in a little milk and whisk until combined. Continue to pour in milk while whisking frequently bringing to a boil. It will thicken as it heats up. Remove from heat and stir in 1½ cups provolone, ½ cup parmesan and ¼ cup asiago.
  6. Add chicken, bacon and noodles to casserole dish. Pour cheese sauce over top and mix well to combine. Sprinkle remaining provolone, parmesan and asiago on top.
  7. Baked, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until top is starting to brown and bubbling.

  • This Cherry Kiss Hot Chocolate is from @eatdrinkblock and available for #YYCHotChocolateFest!
.
In the first photo the incredibly tasty booze soaked cherries fell in to the hot tub aka hot chocolate. The second photo shows the cherries pre-hot tub.
.
The hot chocolate is missing the marshmallow as they apparently ran out of marshmallows. Hopefully this means they are selling lots of hot cocoa for @yychotchocolatefest!
.
Try this beverage with or without alcohol and partial proceeds go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

  • Cooking from @donna.hay's #moderncooking #cookbook this month.
.
Made these Burnt Butter and Salted Maple Sticky Buns for the #rainydaybitescookbookclub challenge. Admittedly I took the photo before adding the salt (whoops)! The dough is easy to work with and I let both rises go longer than advised.
.
The glaze for these buns goes both on the bottom and again poured over the buns when they come out of the oven hot. My family loved them and ate most of them as they were a little on the sweet side for me.
.
Lots joining in on this challenge today. Follow the hashtag, #rainydaybitescookbookclub to see everyone's photos for todays challenge!

  • -28 with the wind chill is no deterrent when it comes to trying hot chocolate during @yychotchocolatefest. This is the Frozen Hot Chocolate Gelato from @fiascogelato and it is so delicious that you completely forget its ahem frozen and -28 out side.
.
It's available until February 28th but do check their opening hours before you go as they are closed Sundays.

  • Some days it's just a simple basic Tomato Sauce.
.
We use this sauce in lasagna, spaghetti sauce, chili, soups, casseroles, meatballs - even cabbage rolls.
.
Do you make your own sauce?!

  • Throwing back today to that time in #Lucerne Switzerland. We yodeled, we took in a Folklore show, wandered the town sight seeing and of course had swiss fondue. We also spent time in #Innusbruck and visited the #Matterhorn.
