If you're as big a fan of Noodles & Company as I am, you may have tried their Penne Rosa (if you haven't, you should definitely check it out). Since it's one of my favorite meals, I was inspired to look up a recipe online and try it out myself! I found this super easy recipe from www.familycookbookproject.com (finally, one without alfredo sauce - I'm not a fan). Let us know what you think!
Penne Rosa
1 box (1 lb.) Penne pasta
1 T white wine
2 T olive oil
1/2 tsp. ground or crushed red pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (canned, drained or fresh)
1/4 cup fresh spinach, packed
1 (14 oz.) can Italian -style diced tomatoes
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Grilled chicken breast, sautéed shrimp or tofu
Directions: Boil pasta according to package directions; set aside. In a large skillet, heat wine, oil, marinara,mushrooms, tomatoes and red pepper over medium heat; stir liberally for 4-5 minutes. Add pasta, mixing well. Add cream and continue stirring. Fold in spinach, stirring until wilted. Stir in cooked chicken, shrimp or tofu. Serve with fresh Parmesan on top.
Happy weekday!
