🥄 Texture
The penne should be tender and ideally al dente, providing a slight bite, while the chicken pieces are juicy with a light golden sear. Roasted bell pepper and softened red onion add a soft, slightly tender contrast and the tomato-based sauce lightly coats the pasta for a cohesive, slightly saucy mouthfeel.
👃 Aroma
Warm tomato and garlic aromas are dominant, brightened by olive oil and dried Italian herbs. A subtle sweetness from the roasted pepper and caramelized onion is present, with savory chicken notes underpinning the scent.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Medium-bodied Italian red such as Chianti or a bright, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc; for a non-alcoholic option, sparkling water with a lemon twist.
🥗 Side Dishes
Garlic bread or focaccia, a crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette, and oven-roasted zucchini or steamed green beans; finish the pasta with grated Parmesan if desired.
