Penne Con Pollo

January 23, 2012 by Tonja Leave a Comment

I get this question a lot.  So on occasion, I’ll include a series on “What to make when…”

Let’s face it, who wants to make Lasagna again for dinner?  I don’t. So after enjoying a fabulous meal at Prima restaurant in Minneapolis, I decided I had to re-create this pasta at home.  It’s absolutely delicious and pretty close to Prima’s original.  I’ve made this countless times for friends and neighbors because everyone—kids included—love it.  Fancy enough for adults, tasty enough for kids.  Throw a salad and bread on the table and enjoy this truly wonderful dish!
