Whole grain pasta with chicken and herbs topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 350 g whole grain penne pasta
- 220 g skinless, boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cups sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil), cut into strips
- 2 cups coarsely chopped arugula leaves
- 1 medium head radicchio, thinly sliced
- 1 large head endive, trim the bottom 1cm, then cut the greens into thin strips
- 3/4 cup lightly salted chicken broth
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups basil, thinly sliced + extra for serving
- 1/4 tbsp. shaved parmesan
Preparation:
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the garlic is soft but not browned, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the arugula, radicchio, endive, broth, salt, and pepper and cook until the greens are wilted, 1-2 minutes. If necessary, thin the sauce with the reserved pasta water.
- Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixture. Before serving, toss with basil and sprinkle with Parmesan shavings and additional basil.
