THREE-CHEESE CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM BAKED PASTA WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Add the mushrooms to the pancetta drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pancetta.
• Cook the penne in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl.
• Add the marinara, chicken, the fontina and half of the Parmesan to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.
