Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces - penne pasta
- 2 cups - green beans trimmed and halved
- 4 slices - bacon
- 1 pounds - boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons - fresh lemon juice
- 1 - large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons - half-and-half
- 5 ounces - baby spinach
- 1/2 cups - grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 - scallions thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Cook pasta per package directions, adding green beans to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water; drain, then return pasta and green beans to pot.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and break into pieces when cool.
3. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and return pan to medium heat. Cook chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, tossing once, about 6 to 8 minutes; remove from heat and toss with lemon juice.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk with half-and-half. Toss egg mixture with pasta and green beans, then fold in the chicken, spinach, Parmesan and 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss to coat, and add more pasta water if needed. Fold in scallions and top with bacon before serving.
