Ingredients:
1/2 pound penne pasta
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 small-medium zucchini, sliced
4 ounces baby carrots
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl, combine flour with stock and mix well. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente; drain. Place pasta in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

  4. Pour in reserved stock with flour, stirring constantly. Add peas, parsley and Italian seasoning; cook for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add heavy cream, chicken and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour sauce over reserved cooked pasta, mix well. Combine remaining Parmesan cheese with bread crumbs and sprinkle over pasta.
  7. Bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 5 minutes, then serve.
