Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Penne Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preparing Chicken & Broccoli

  1. 2

    Sauté Chicken

    While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 3

    Sauté Broccoli

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and broccoli florets. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and bright green.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the White Butter Wine Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and smooth.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 5

    Combine Pasta, Chicken, and Broccoli

    Add the cooked penne pasta, sliced chicken, and sautéed broccoli to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Plate the Pollo e Broccoli and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your meal!
