How to Make Penne Pasta With Grilled Chicken And Roasted Tomatoes

  1. Marinate 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor). Grill chicken until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  2. (Optional) Omit chicken for a delicious vegetarian option.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. In a bowl, toss 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Roast tomatoes in a shallow baking pan for 12-15 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  6. While tomatoes roast, cook 1 lb penne pasta according to package directions. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine to the pasta water during the last minute of cooking.
  7. Gently smash roasted tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon.
  8. Chop grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Drain pasta reserving about 1/2 cup pasta water.
  10. In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, roasted tomatoes, chicken (if using), 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and halved), reserved pasta water, and your favorite Italian dressing (2-3 tablespoons).
  11. Add more pasta water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!
