Servings:

Ingredients:

1 pound dried penne

2 chicken cutlets, cut into fingers

3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley, for garnish.

2 lemons juiced.

1/2 cup grated parmesan

Directions:

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, until al dente. Drain well.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high and add chicken. Grill until golden and completely cooked. Remove to a plate and slice.

Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to a saute pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and saute until fragrant. Add the cooked pasta and turn the heat off. Mix all together.

Remove pasta to a large bowl. Add chicken to the warm pasta and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in chopped parsley. add the juice of 2 lemons and mix. Before serving top with Parmesan.

Optional:

If you have any dietary preferences, you can substitute the pasta with a gluten-free one, or get a dairy-free parmesan.
