Description

Al dente penne pasta and seared golden chicken breast smothered in a luxurious, velvety garlic three-cheese sauce made with parmesan, mozzarella, and sharp cheddar. Baked until bubbling and golden, garnished with fresh parsley.

A Taste of History

Combining tubular penne pasta with creamy cheese sauces and poultry expanded rapidly across Italian-American comfort cooking in the late 20th century. Penne's ridged exterior (penne rigate) holds heavy cheese sauces exceptionally well.
