Chicken Penne al Pomodoro
Chicken and penne in a classic tomato sauce, simmered with garlic, basil and a squeeze of lemon. Black olives bring a savoury depth while green beans add substance and freshness. Simple, satisfying and full of Italian character.

Tell me when Chicken Penne al Pomodoro changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the service publishes, and services change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
