Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
  • Pinch chili flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 pound penne pasta

Directions

Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the ground chicken and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, and chili flakes and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Reduce until the white wine is almost completely evaporated.

Add the tomato sauce and juice and simmer until a thick sauce consistency, about 20 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Cook the penne in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside. Add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to the sauce. Add the drained pasta to the sauce along with the Parmesan and toss well. Serve in a large bowl garnished with parsley leaves.

    PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My family of 8 (including 5 teenage/young adult men) request this often and I prepare it about once a month. I double the... recipe and it turns out perfect every time. There is no need to change or substitute any ingredient. The depth and layers of flavors are perfect in every way! Everyone I serve this to is very satisfied and happy at the end of the meal.Read more

    A Standard for me

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    When I first saw Wolfgang Puck making this recipe 3 years ago through burned-out eyes at 2 am, it reminded me of a recipe I... got from a restaurant in the late eighties in The Village, New York City. I forget the name, but they had three or four ducks on the awning. Anyway, if you apply the basics of the recipe in most any bolognese recipe, DELICIOUS! Try it with casing-free sweet sausage, chicken or pork.Read more

    Great Flavor!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe is a winner. I love the tanginess of the tomato sauce/juice. I added diced zucchini and drizzled some extra... virgin olive oil in the end and my husband loved it. He called it restaurant quality!Read more
