Winner, winner, chicken (and pasta) dinner! Our pasta-fied pot pie combines Cascatelli with aromatics, chicken, and a velvety sauce for a very tasty twist on this classically comforting dish.

INGREDIENTS

MAKES FOUR - SIX SERVINGS

  • 1 tablespoon + 1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided

  • 1 tablespoon  extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large carrot, finely diced
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 large celery ribs, finely diced
  • 1 small leek, just the white and light green, diced (see chefs note)
  • 2 cups shredded or diced cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1-pound Sfoglini Cascatelli by Sporkful
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock

            DIRECTIONS

            In a large sauté pan or medium dutch oven, melt the tablespoon of butter along with the olive oil over medium low heat. Add in the carrots, onion, and celery, and stir to coat in the fat. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes, then add in the leeks. Sauté for another minute or two until they begin to soften, then stir in the chicken and peas. Season with the salt and pepper. Cook for another couple of minutes to warm up the peas and chicken, then transfer the cooked filling to a large bowl and reserve. 

            Bring a pot of genorously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta to al dente, according to the package instructions. Strain.

            After removing the filling from the pan, add the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and allow to melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook until bubbling and the smell of flour is gone, about 5-7 minutes. Whisk often, and make sure the color stays sandy, so don’t let the butter brown. Pour in about 1/3 of the chicken stock, and whisk until the roux has absorbed the liquid. Repeat twice more with the remaining stock, continuing to whisk until the sauce is thick and smooth. 

            Fold in the veggie and chicken filling, along with the pasta, and serve.

            Chef's Note: Leeks are notorious for having soil between their layers because of how they are grown. Once your leeks are diced, give them a good cleaning by filling a bowl with cold water  and giving them a nice dunk. Use your hands to agitate the leeks in the water and break up the layers. Scoop the leeks out with a slotted spoon and set aside until you’re ready to use them. If they are particularly dirty, repeat the dunking process with a fresh bowl of water. 

            Pasta Swaps: This recipe would also work well with Sfoglini Radiators, Zucca, or Vesuvio.
