Chicken & Penne with Basil Parmesan Cream Sauce image

Provided by A Family Feast

Categories     entree

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
4 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups heavy cream
3 bay leaves
1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
8 large leaves fresh basil*
¼ teaspoon fresh nutmeg
½ teaspoon dry mustard
Large pinch red pepper flakes
1 pound penne pasta
Additional chopped fresh basil for garnish
Additional grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot of salted water and heat to a boil but do not cook the pasta yet.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts so they are the same thickness. (See How to Butterfly a Chicken Breast)
  • Coat both sides with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat a deep wide saute pan with the olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Once hot, add the chicken breasts and count 30 seconds, then cover, lower heat to the lowest flame and continue to cook chicken, flipping once the first side is cooked, until no longer pink inside. Depending on the thickness of the chicken, this should take 5-10 minutes to cook on low.
  • Remove cover and place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Pour off but save liquid in the pan.
  • Over medium heat add the butter and once melted, add flour and cook for three minutes, stirring often.
  • Slowly add the cream whisking as you add.
  • Add bay leaves, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, whole basil leaves, nutmeg, mustard and pepper flakes. Bring to a bubble then lower to a simmer and simmer ten minutes, stirring often.
  • While cream sauce cooks, add Penne pasta to the hot water and cook to just short of al dente. Still should be a little bit chewy.
  • Strain the cream sauce through a fine sieve and discard the solids. Taste and salt if needed. Pour the sauce back into the pan, reserving one cup that will be drizzled over each portion when serving.
  • Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips and add to the sauce. Add the liquid that you saved after you cooked the chicken.
  • Use a spider or strainer and scoop out and add the pasta to the sauce, but do not discard the pasta water yet.
  • Stir the mixture over low to medium heat until the pasta is fully cooked. Add a little pasta water if it starts to dry out a little.
  • Serve with the reserved sauce, chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese.

PENNE WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL



Penne with Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 large Spanish onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed with a sprinkle of kosher salt and finely chopped to a paste
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
8 ounces penne pasta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus 3/4 cup, for garnish
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
12 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Calabrian red chile flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup fresh ricotta, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan or saucepan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onions, garlic and tomatoes with the juice. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher in the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the penne and 2 tablespoons salt and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
  • Mash the tomatoes again until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin out the sauce and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Thin with additional pasta water if necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the pan and combine. Cook the pasta in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, adding more grated cheese as the pasta cooks. Add some of the basil and parsley and the chile flakes and then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large shallow serving dish and top with freshly grated cheese. Top with the ricotta and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley; serve immediately.

3 to 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/3 to 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano, a couple of handfuls
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 clove garlic
1 (3-ounce) jar pine nuts (pignoli)
1 lemon, zested
2 eggs, beaten
Olive oil, for shallow frying

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
1 Roma or plum tomato, seeded and finely chopped, for garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup arborio rice
Salt and pepper

1/4 to 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano, a generous handful
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 cup tiny frozen peas

Steps:

  • Season the cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides turn lightly in flour.
  • Combine next 7 ingredients in food processor and pulse-process the crumbs to chop the spices, garlic and nuts and evenly distribute the flavors throughout the crumb and cheese mixture. Transfer the mixture to a plate. Beat eggs in a separate shallow dish.
  • Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan, over medium to medium high heat. Coat the cutlets in eggs then breading and add to the hot oil. Cook cutlets in a single layer, in 2 batches if necessary, about 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until cutlets' juices run clear and breading is evenly browned.
  • Return food processor bowl to base and add basil, parsley and lemon juice. Add a little salt and pepper. Turn processor on and stream in oil until a loose paste forms.
  • Serve chicken cutlets with a generous amount of basil and parsley sauce poured over the cutlets. Garnish the chicken with finely chopped Roma tomato. Serve Cheesy Risi e Bisi alongside.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic and onion and saute, stirring constantly 2 to 3 minutes then add rice and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook another minute or so then add wine and let it completely absorb, 30 seconds. Add about 1 cup chicken stock and stir. Reduce heat a bit to medium. Stir often and continue adding a half cup of liquid each time liquid becomes completely absorbed. Cook 22 minutes, using as much stock as is necessary to result in creamy-consistency rice with a bite to it.
  • When rice is cooked to desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in cheese, parsley and peas and stir to combine and to heat peas through.

A spicy chicken and pesto pasta dish that's easy to adjust to any heat level. I created it after eating a similar dish at a Santa Monica restaurant, and it's one of my favorites.
