INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta

  • Oil & Butter

    • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Vegetables & Herbs

    • 🧅 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
    • 🧄 3 teaspoons minced garlic
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
    • ¼ cup chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

  • Meat & Poultry

    • 4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta bacon, chopped
    • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
    • 4 cups shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, at room temperature
    • 🧀 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or more to taste
    • 🥚 3 large egg yolks, at room temperature

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 salt and ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain.

2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 4 minutes. Add pancetta and prosciutto; saute until crisp and brown, about 8 minutes. Add chicken and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

3

Whisk cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, basil, and parsley together in a large bowl until blended.

4

Return chicken mixture to the stove over medium-low heat. Add drained penne and cream mixture; toss over medium-low heat until penne is thickly coated, about 4 minutes; do not let it boil or the eggs will scramble. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

5

Transfer to a large, wide serving bowl and serve immediately.
