It's time for another recipe. I have been craving comfort foods lately. It could be because of the stress in my life at the moment or it could be the fact that we have been getting an abnormal amount of rain here the past few weeks. I do not know how the people in Seattle cope!!! Thankfully, my family really does like gluten free pasta so it makes it easy to prepare one dish meals like the one below. I found this recipe from my good ole magazine, "Living Without." It is very versatile and you can play around with it to suit your tastes. Of course, if you do not have celiac disease you can use any pasta you wish!
Tuscan Chicken with Gluten-Free Pasta
Serves 4 to 5
This simple one-dish meal can be ready in less than 30 minutes. For extra veggies, add roughly chopped and sautéed greens (kale or spinach).
¼ cup olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, sliced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
1/3 cup Madeira wine, sherry or dry white wine (I use whatever I have on hand-no preference.)
1 cup gluten-free marinara sauce (Paul Newman's marinara is outstanding!)
½ pound gluten-free penne pasta*
½ cup dairy-free Parmesan cheese, optional
In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta al dente following package directions.
Sauté ¼ cup olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Cut chicken breasts into 1x2-inch pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and place in a warming oven.
Add wine to the skillet and bring to a boil. Add marinara sauce and simmer for one minute. Add chicken, thoroughly drained pasta and cheese (if using) to skillet and stir to combine. Serve with additional cheese, if desired.
