Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary leaves
2 ounces diced pancetta
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups Tomato Sauce
2 cups diced roasted chicken
2 cups broccoli cut into small, bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 cups diced mozzarella cheese

6 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 6 (10-ounce) ramekins
