Penne Pollo-Italian chicken pasta dish..
Hey guys,
I don't know If anyone will be able to help me but I'm dying to get a good penne pollo recipe!
It's like this creamy chicken pasta dish.. the sauce isn't too thick or heavy its different to a carbonara. I know there is garlic in it chicken and penne pasta that is about it lol.
There is this restaurant I love that does it..but I would find it rude asking for the recipe!
Does anyone have any recipes or ideas for it? I tried to make it on instinct and it went very wrong!
Google doesn't have some great results so I came here :)
Any help would be appreciated.

The recipes often have comments and feedback from people who cook them, and they often provide their own suggestions such as "if you like (insert popular restaurant's dish here) you should double the garlic" or whatever.
If it's a popular/chain restaurant (basically, not a single diner down the street) try doing a Google search of "[restaurant name] [entree name] recipe" like "Cheesecake Factory Cajun Jambalaya Pasta Recipe". This will get you copycat recipes, suggestions, and sometimes the actual companies will give you a recipe for a certain part of the dish.
Many nutrition pages of popular chains now list ingredients, so try investigating the company website. They may even sell their sauces/dressings in a local store - a few restaurants do that from where I live, and many are small chains (as in one location). It's definitely worth looking into.
An added bonus of making it yourself is that you can alter the ingredients to make it healthier, if you so choose. For example, you could use low-fat cheese or reduced fat milk, or leave out an ingredient you hate (I always leave out capers, those things are disgusting...)
Have fun experimenting with recipes!
