Baked Ricotta Penne
tristan
The Princess Pub took my favorite thing off the menu, so I’ve had to figure out how to make it at home. Here’s what I came up with.
ingredients
- 1 lb. cooked drained penne pasta
- 1/4 c. butter
- 1/4 c. flour
- 2 c. warm milk
- 15 oz. ricotta
- 1 c. grated parmesan cheese
- pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- few sprigs fresh sage, coarsely chopped
- chicken breasts, (1/2 per person)
- favorite storebought chicken spice rub (aim for cajun blackend style)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350.

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat and whisk in flour to make a roux. Cook for 3 mins, whisking constantly. Pour in warm milk and whisk until thickened, 3 more minutes.

Add ricotta, 1/4 c. paremesan, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt. Stir until thickened and cheese is melted. Place penne in 9 x 13 pan and pour ricotta mixture over pasta, toss, and sprinkle remaining parmesan on top. Bake 1 hr, or until cheese is browned on top.

Meanwhile, coat chicken in spice rub and grill until cooked through. Also, grill bell pepper strips until the edges start to char and they soften a little.

To serve, cut grilled chicken breast into strips and serve with bell peppers over serving of baked penne. Top with coarsely chopped sage.
