Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 1/4 cup chopped onion; 1/4 cup chopped Italian sausage (hot or sweet); 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper; 1/4 cup thinly sliced mushrooms; 1/4 cup chopped broccoli; 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic; 1/3 cup cubed grilled chicken; 1/4 cup chicken stock; 1 cup whole wheat penne rigotte, cooked al dente and strained; 1/2 cup heavy cream; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving, optional; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley; 3 tablespoons chopped fresh spinach; 1/4 cup chopped Roma tomatoes

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Preheat a saute pan over high heat, add the olive oil and allow to come up to a high temperature. Add the onions and cook until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the sausage and red bell peppers, making sure to move the pan around and to continue stirring for even cooking. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and broccoli and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly. (The garlic should take on a golden color, but be sure to not let it burn.) Stir in the chopped chicken and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
Deglaze the pan by adding the chicken stock. Stir around to coat all the ingredients. Add the pasta to the pan, stir to coat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cream sprinkle in the cheese and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley and spinach. Remove the pasta from the heat.
Pour the pasta onto a plate, top with the tomatoes and more cheese, if desired.
