Penne, Chicken and Mushroom Cacciatori
The Recycled Cook Penne, Chicken and Mushroom Cacciatori Nothing quite as satisfying as a good pasta dish, for this one I used Penne pasta or quills due to their pen like shape. Cacciatori means hunter so this is basically hunter's chicken and mushroom although you could leave out the chicken and have it as a vegetarian dish. This sauce will work with any kind of pasta but Penne was what I had readily available. Although I prefer fresh pasta or home made egg pasta I try and keep some dried pasta available too. As always these dishes it is down what you have left over in the fridge and freezer. I found a chicken breast in the freezer, some mushrooms, celery, spring onions half a yellow pepper and some baby tomatoes in the fridge so built the dish around those. The first thing to do was to defrost the chicken breast thoroughly, season it well with salt, black pepper and dried oregano, rub with garlic...
