Steps:

• Cook penne pasta in boiling, salted water.
• Strain pasta and add to sauce.

• Notes:.
• Add red pepper flakes for arabiatta.
• Add oregano for a spicier version.

Steps:

• Place the chicken on a preheated char grill. Grill until the chicken is cooked through. Remove and place in the refrigerator.
• In a pot of boiling water, cook the pasta to the specifications on the package. Drain well. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, melt the butter. Sauté the mushroom, green onions, tomatoes, and chopped garlic until the vegetables become soft. Continue cooking until there is very little liquid in the pan.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and slice into 1/4-inch strips. Place in the sauce pan with the vegetable mixture. Add the heavy cream to the pan and simmer until the cream begins to thicken. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Turn off the heat.
• Add the pasta to the sauce mixture. Stir well.
• Garnish with additional Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Spread butter, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, and garlic powder over chicken breasts on a plate or cutting board.
• Grill the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Pour penne into a colander to drain.
• Place the penne, chicken breasts, spinach, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes in the pot. Cook and stir over low heat until the spinach is wilted but still green, about 7 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Mix pasta into spinach-chicken mixture; toss well.
