Penne with Almond Sauce

I love cooking and this is one of my latest favorite recipes to cook.  It's great for this time of year.  Stick to your bones goodness!  It takes some time, but it is so worth it!  Definitely try this one out!

Penne with Almond Sauce:

Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients:

1 lb. Penne Pasta

2 Cups Slivered Almonds

2.5 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth

3 Garlic Cloves, Finely Chopped

2 Rotiseree Chicken Breasts, Cubed

1 Cup Frozen Peas (Don't use canned)

3/4 Cup Heavy Cream

2 Cups Grated Parmesan

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the pasta until Al Dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.

In a food processor, blend the almonds, chicken stock, and garlic until it becomes a puree with some texture at the bottom.  Pour the mixture into a skillet and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes until bubbly and it begins to thicken.  Add the cream, parmesan cheese, peas and chicken.  Let sit 2-3 minutes until chicken and peas are warmed through.

Pour the cooked and drained pasta into the sauce mixture and toss until evenly coated.  Transfer the dish into a large serving bowl and enjoy!
