Preparation

Step 1

1. Boil a large pot of salted water for the penne. Cook the pasta according to package directions. During the last 5 minutes, add the frozen peas. Drain well.

2. In the pot you cooked the pasta in, or in a large sauté pan, pour in the cream and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken and stir as the cream starts to bubble, then add the drained pasta. Stir and toss over the heat until the pasta is coated and the cream is becoming thick, about 2 minutes.

3. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and keep tossing over the heat to melt. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with the remaining Parmesan sprinkled over the pasta.
