Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons butter, plus more for baking dishes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound penne rigate
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each), halved horizontally
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups whole milk
10 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone (6 ounces)
1 cup finely grated Parmesan (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Butter two shallow 2-quart baking dishes. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes short of al dente; drain pasta, and return to pot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes, pungent garlic, and peppery arugula.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Sauté the vegetables until they are tender: This will help to bring out their flavor and sweetness.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Add the arugula at the end of cooking: Arugula is a delicate herb that will wilt quickly. Adding it at the end of cooking will help to preserve its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This penne with sun-dried tomatoes and arugula is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of sweet tomatoes, salty sun-dried tomatoes, and peppery arugula is simply irresistible. And the best part is, this dish can be made with pantry staples, so you can whip it up whenever you're craving a flavorful and satisfying meal.
