INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne (dry)
1 cup Roasted Red Peppers
4 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
0.5 cup Fresh Basil
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the roasted red peppers to the pan and stir, allowing them to heat through.
Stir in the red chili flakes for a spicy kick and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the grilled chicken (sliced or diced) to the pan and gently mix to combine with the peppers and garlic.
Toss the cooked penne into the pan, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the spicy red pepper mixture.
Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil leaves. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.
