| 8 ounces whole-wheat penne |
| 2 cups 1/2-inch cauliflower florets |
| 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
| 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
| 1 cup shredded Gruyère or swiss cheese |
| 3 cups shredded cooked chicken or turkey (12 ounces; see Tip) |
| 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallion greens |
Tip: : To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. |
