Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  2. 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 1/2 pound pancetta, diced
  4. 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  5. 1 pound dried penne
  6. 5 1/2 cups prepared marinara sauce
  7. 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed
  8. 1 1/2 cups shredded Italian fontina cheese
  9. 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  10. 1 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Add the mushrooms to the pancetta drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pancetta.
  3. Cook the penne in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl.
  4. Add the marinara, chicken, the fontina and half of the Parmesan to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.

Tasty. Good use of left over chicken. My family liked it except everyone said it was too dry. Next time I will increase the marinara sauce by at least 50%. I doubled the amount of chicken and used regular bacon and regular fresh mushrooms.
