Ingredients

300 g Penne Pasta
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
200 g Chicken Breast, diced
150 g Green Beans, trimmed and cut into 2 cm pieces
120 g Cream Cheese
60 ml Chicken Broth
50 g Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste

Method

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Stir in the red pepper flakes and green beans, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the beans are tender but still crisp.
4
Lower the heat and add the cream cheese and chicken broth to the pan. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
5
Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the pasta and let it melt into the dish for about 2 minutes.
7
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with extra red pepper flakes if desired.
