Ingredients

For the Pasta Filling:

  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Puff Pastry Top:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions/Directions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Garlic and Flour: Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Make the Sauce: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens.
  6. Combine Filling Ingredients: Stir in the diced chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Mix with Pasta: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and stir until well coated with the sauce.
  8. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the chicken pot pie pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  9. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the size of the baking dish. Place it over the chicken pot pie pasta mixture. Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  10. Bake and Serve: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
