You need:
• 1/2 pound uncooked whole-wheat penne
• 1/2 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sliced fresh garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 2 cups skinless, boneless, shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1/2 preserved lemon, rinsed, pulp removed, and rind thinly sliced or 1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• Parmesan cheese (for shaving)
Instructions:
Cook penne according to package directions. Add broccoli rabe to pasta during the last 2 minutes of cooking. When penne is al dente and broccoli rabe is tender but still bright green, drain, reserving 1/3 cup pasta water; set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper, and cook 1 1/2–2 minutes or until fragrant but not browned. Add the chicken and reserved pasta water, and cook 1 minute or until heated through. Add preserved lemon rind (or lemon zest) and salt; remove from heat.
Toss chicken mixture with cooked pasta and broccoli rabe and grated fresh Parmesan; divide evenly among 4 bowls. Use a wide peeler to shave 12 (2-inch-long) strips of Parmesan. Place 3 shavings over each portion; serve immediately.
