Ingredients | Chicken And Mushroom Penne Alfredo

½ (1 pound) package whole wheat penne

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 large cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups fat-free half-and-half

1 cup fat-free milk

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Directions

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Melt butter in another skillet over medium heat; cook and stir flour in melted butter until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk half-and-half and milk into flour mixture until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning into cream sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, spinach, and onion mixture; simmer until heated through.

Pour vegetable sauce over pasta and toss to coat.
