Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the penne rigate

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the penne rigate and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup [¾ cup] pasta cooking water. While the water is heating and the penne is cooking, prepare your protein.

Prep your protein

Shrimp or scallops: Rinse and drain the shrimp or scallops. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Chicken, steak, or pork strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
Chicken breasts: Pat the meat dry with a paper towel; cut into 1-inch strips. Season with salt and pepper.
Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.

Cook your protein

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes for regular shrimp; 4 to 6 minutes for jumbo shrimp, scallops, steak, pork, tofu, or plant-based chicken; and 6 to 8 minutes for chicken. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Prep and cook the vegetables

Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ¼ cup [½ cup].
Cut the mushrooms into quarters.
Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed; cut the beans into 1-inch lengths.

In the same pan used for your protein, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and the beans are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add ¼ cup [½ cup] white wine (from your pantry) or water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute.

Finish the dish

To the pan with the vegetables, stir in the arrabbiata sauce base and reserved pasta cooking water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the penne, your protein, and capers; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the penne, your protein, vegetables, and sauce to individual bowls and serve.
