Penne a la
Enoteca Lanzone
This dish was created by my friend Jeff Davis who was inspired by the Enoteca Lanzone in Opera Plaza on Van Ness St in San Francisco. It is no longer there but this dish lives on. Easy and delicious. Better Cold!
Ingredients:
8 oz. Penne (short tubular pasta - google for a naughty translation from Italian)
2T. Olive Oil
12 Cloves garlic
2 Skinless boneless chicken breasts
3 c. Chicken Stock
1/4 c. Freshly chopped parsley
8 Oil packed sun dried tomatoes, diced
4 T Butter
6 Scallions
Instructions:
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt then penne. cook until al dente ( about 6 or 7 min)
Heat olive OIl in a saute pan. saute garlic for 3-5 min until golden. Do not allow to burn.
Add chicken and saute for 2 min. Remove chicken and cut in 1" cubes and reserve.
Pour chicken stock into pan and add parsley, tomatoes, scallions, salt and pepper to taste. bring to a boil and reduce for 5-10 min
Return chicken to pan and whisk in butter a little at a time to thicken sauce, which should be quite soupy.
Toss Penne in sauce and serve.
