This Holidays Pasta recipe calls for penne pasta, but there are certainly other varieties of pasta that are good for pairing with a meat sauce like this one. If you want to try using another variety, I recommend using medium shells, Spaguetti, campanelle, rigatoni, or orecchiette. Pappardelle (wide egg noodle pasta) is great for topping with meat sauce too, but it’s an entirely different kind of pasta than penne!

-Michael Chang-
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 whole bay leaf, fresh or dried
4 ounces chopped pancetta
8 ounces sweet or hot Italian sausage
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces ground turkey
1 medium carrot, peeled & finely chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
2 32-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
1 handful chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cinnamon
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
32 ounces penne pasta, cooked to al dente
grated Parmesan, for serving (if desired)
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and brown to render the fat. Transfer the pancetta to paper towels to drain. Add the oil to the pan, and then the meats and brown and crumble them for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and pancetta bits.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onions near the stove and add to the pot as you work. Cook the vegetables with the meat for 5 minutes and then add the wine. Cook for 1 minute; add the broth and tomatoes to the pot.
Stir in the parsley, allspice, or cinnamon and season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook 10 to 15 minutes, minimum, before serving. Reheated sauce only improves.
Toss the pasta (cook off only as much pasta as you need at the time: half a pound for every 3 people) with a couple of ladles of sauce to coat, then top the bowl with extra sauce. Top the pasta with lots of cheese, as desired.

Parmesan cheese is not included in the nutritional information.

We liked this recipe and would do it again. It had a milder flavor than we thought it would have with the Chiles and Enchilada sauces. Took longer than 55 minutes to prep and cook. Also expensive in our locale for the Mexican ingredients. We also froze the large amount of leftovers for future dinners.
I cooked the chicken in adobo seasoning (my go to seasoning for Hispanic dishes), fresh squeezed lime juice, and cilantro, shredding it in the pan as it cooked, and added some cilantro to the sauce as it cooked. I topped with sour cream and green onions. Very yummy!

Delicious!!!!! Made exactly as stated except: only had 12 oz of green enchilada sauce so I cut the red enchilada sauce from 2/3 C to 1/2 C so it didn’t overwhelm the red sauce. The other change I made was that I didn’t have chilli powder so I used cayenne instead. Came out great. Will def make again. Well I made it again tonight with ground turkey and a different noodle. Came out delicious.

Ingredients:
1 (16 ounces) package penne pasta, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded, or more to taste
2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
2/3 cup red enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounces) can diced green chiles
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
Directions:
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. Drain and return pasta to the pot.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir red bell pepper and garlic into onion; saute until fragrant and softened, another 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir chicken, green enchilada sauce, red enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, and salt into onion mixture; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until flavors blend, 8 to 10 minutes. Add Colby-Jack cheese and stir until melted and heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir sour cream into enchilada mixture; cook and stir until heated through. Pour enchilada mixture over penne pasta and toss to coat completely.
Footnotes:
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
Hey! I am a great fan on of your site, and have made many recipes you post! Here is my question that I hope you can answer quickly…. I love the enchilada chicken pasta recipe. I have a good friend having surgery, and I would love me to bring her family a prepared meal they can reheat when ready. So, if I made this entree completely through the sour cream, could I pour it into a metal pan and instruct them to reheat it at 350 degrees covered for maybe 30 minutes without the sour cream cheese sauce curdling? Any suggestions, or do you not recommend this for an oven reheating? I am hoping this is a recipe that would work the day after, but I don’t want something that WOULDN’T work! Thanks for any help you can give me!
