Categories     Pasta     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound uncooked whole-wheat penne
1/2 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons sliced fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cups skinless, boneless, shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 preserved lemon, rinsed, pulp removed, and rind thinly sliced or 1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Parmesan cheese (for shaving)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook penne according to package directions. Add broccoli rabe to pasta during the last 2 minutes of cooking. When penne is al dente and broccoli rabe is tender but still bright green, drain, reserving 1/3 cup pasta water; set aside. 2. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper, and cook 1 1/2-2 minutes or until fragrant but not browned. Add the chicken and reserved pasta water, and cook 1 minute or until heated through. Add preserved lemon rind (or lemon zest) and salt; remove from heat. 3. Toss chicken mixture with cooked pasta and broccoli rabe and grated fresh Parmesan; divide evenly among 4 bowls. Use a wide peeler to shave 12 (2-inch-long) strips of Parmesan. Place 3 shavings over each portion; serve immediately.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the preserved lemons didn't really add much flavor. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use fresh lemons instead of preserved lemons. Otherwise, the dish was well-made and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
