Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. In the last 3 minutes, add the broccoli florets. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, drain and let steam escape.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir gently and let simmer for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
- Remove from heat and whisk in parmesan and mozzarella until melted. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Return pasta and broccoli to skillet, toss gently to coat with sauce. Fold in shredded rotisserie chicken, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess.
- Stir in a knob of cold butter before serving for richness. Serve warm and enjoy!
