Ingredients 6 tablespoons butter, plus more for baking dishes Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 pound penne rigate 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each), halved horizontally ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 4 garlic cloves, minced 6 cups whole milk 10 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced 1 ½ cups shredded provolone (6 ounces) 1 cup finely grated Parmesan (4 ounces) Directions Preheat oven to 400. Butter two shallow 2-quart baking dishes. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes short of al dente; drain pasta, and return to pot. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Halve each piece lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt butter over medium. Add flour and garlic; cook, whisking, 1 minute. While whisking, gradually add milk; bring to a simmer, whisking frequently. Add mushrooms and tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Off heat, gradually stir in provolone and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Add chicken and pasta to pot; season with salt and pepper. Divide pasta mixture between baking dishes; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until top is golden and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Cook's Notes To Freeze: Prepare through step 4; let cool. Cover tightly with foil, and freeze, up to 3 months. To Bake From Frozen: Preheat oven to 400, and bake (still covered in foil) on a rimmed baking sheet until center is hot, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil; bake until golden, about 15 minutes more. Rate it Print
