Most of you know that one of my favorite meals in the world is my stepdad PJ\u2019s meatballs and sauce<\/a>. It’s my favorite recipe in my cookbook<\/a>! Whenever I’m back home at my parents’ house, it’s the one meal I have to have<\/em>. I’ll wake up on a Sunday morning and as soon as I open my eyes, I can smell simmering garlic and onions. By 5pm that day, my siblings\u00a0will come over and we’ll all sit down to big plates of\u00a0comfort\u2014complete with meatballs, eggplant, and chicken cutlets. Those incredible Sunday dinners will always hold a place in my heart. But delicious Italian dinners don’t have to be relegated to\u00a0Sundays, and sauce doesn’t have to be an\u00a0all-day affair.<\/p>\n

Case in point: this one pan penne with rosemary chicken and vodka sauce. I created it after seeing Martha Stewart’s game-changing One Pan Pasta<\/a>. You\u00a0combine pasta with\u00a0juuust enough<\/em> liquid in a deep-sided saucepan and simmer until the noodles are tender. No draining necessary and the clean up is easy!<\/p>\n

For my own version\u00a0of\u00a0one pan pasta, I simmered\u00a0half a pound of whole wheat penne with chicken broth and my secret weapon\u00a0for shortcut Italian dinners\u2014DeLallo Creamy Vodka Sauce<\/a>. It’s the perfect balance between a white and red sauce\u2014silky smooth, a little bit\u00a0sweet, with a savory, cheesy finish. All of DeLallo Pomodoro Fresco sauces\u00a0have\u00a0the best homemade, simmered-all-day flavor and<\/em> they’re made with only a handful of real food,\u00a0essential ingredients.<\/p>\n

The penne I use is also made [in Italy] by DeLallo. It’s fiber-packed and has that chewy, al-dente texture I love about whole wheat pastas. To add a pop of sweetness in each bite, I stir in a jar of DeLallo semi-dried cherry tomatoes<\/a>, which are very similar to sun-dried tomatoes, only a little softer and sweeter.<\/p>\n

For a heartier, more satisfying\u00a0meal, I soak\u00a0chicken breast tenderloins in a quick rosemary-infused marinade, then saut\u00e9\u00a0them in the pan\u2014the same pan I use for the\u00a0pasta\u2014removing them to a plate just before adding the penne, broth, and vodka sauce.<\/p>\n

Altogether, this dish is full of\u00a0bold, savory-sweet flavor\u2014not to mention filling fiber and protein. You’ll love every bite. And bonus: everyone you share it with will think you spent all day in the kitchen!<\/p>\n

Here’s a video of how it’s made!<\/em><\/p>\n
