INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl, add 1/2 cup boiling water and set the
bowl aside for the tomatoes to reconstitute. Fill a large pot with water,
and bring it to a boil.
Combine the chicken and the wine in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the
italian seasoning on top. Bake for 15-20 mins, until the meat is no longer
pink and the juices run clear.
Remove and shred the chicken, reserving the cooking juices.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and slice them thin.
Pour the reserved cooking juices from the chicken into a saut=82 pan. Add
the shallot, mushrooms, peas, and tomatoes. Saut=82 over low heat for a few
minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed and the vegetables are wilted.
Remove the pan from the heat and cover it to keep the vegetables warm.
Add the penne to the boiling water in the large pot and cook over high heat
to desired doneness, 8-12 mins. =20 While the pasta is cooking, make the
sauce. Preheat a small heavy saucepan for about 1 minute over medium heat,
then spray it twice with the vegetable oil. Toss in the garlic and flour,
then whisk in the evaporated milk. Add the nutmeg and red pepper flakes.
Whisking constantly, bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking for
about 5 mins, until thickened. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and stir
in basil. =20 Drain the cooked pasta and transfer to a warm serving bowl.
Add the chicken, vegetables, and sauce. Season with salt, if desired, and
toss. Garnish with olive slices. =20 Appeared during May 1994 sometime in
