Creamy Tomato Penne with Pancetta
Pan-seared chicken and crispy pancetta tossed with chickpea penne in a velvety, blush-colored tomato sauce that feels incredibly indulgent.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
2 oz chickpea penne pasta
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp shallot
1 cup fresh spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea penne until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta.
Cook the pancetta until the edges are golden and crisp, then add the diced chicken breast to the pan.
Sauté the chicken until cooked through, then stir in the minced shallot and garlic for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree, sea salt, and black pepper, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the Greek yogurt until the sauce turns a beautiful blush pink.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted.
Toss the cooked penne into the sauce until well coated and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
