Servings:         4

Prep time:       15 min.

Cook time:      40 min.

 

Ingredients:

1 cup pastina pasta (or any small pasta)
2 TB olive oil
1/2 cup cubed chicken breast (1-inch cubes)
1/2 cup diced onion (about 1/2 a small onion)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14.5oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 TB butter, plus more for buttering the baking dish

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain pasta into a large mixing bowl. Meanwhile, put the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 min. Add the onions and garlic, stirring to combine, and cook until the onions are soft and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 min. more. Put the chicken mixture into the bowl with the cooked pasta. Add the canned tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Place the mixture in a buttered 8x8x2" baking dish. In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the top of the pasta mixture. Dot the top with small bits of butter. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 min.

Oooooh, I love pastina, too and everything in this recipe sounds like a winner to me.  Oh, and here's a song for Dorothy (and everyone else, too) to play while making this dish.  It's one of my faves right now and I can't really cook or bake without a little music to shake and bake to!!!!
