Belleville Pantry Favorites

Why We Love It

Some of our favorite dinners begin the same way: by opening the pantry, seeing what Belleville favorites we have on hand, and pairing them with whatever is already in the refrigerator.

That's exactly how this meal came together.

A bottle of Finch + Fennel Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a package of authentic Italian pasta from La Fabbrica Della Pasta, and a jar of DeLallo Creamy Alfredo Sauce became the foundation for an easy weeknight dinner. Add chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, and fresh garlic, and dinner is on the table in about 30 minutes.

It's rich without being complicated, comforting without feeling heavy, and a wonderful reminder that quality ingredients don't need much help to shine.

That's the idea behind From the Belleville Kitchen—real meals, made in our own home, using products we genuinely love and use ourselves. We hope they inspire you to gather around your own table and enjoy the simple pleasure of cooking with quality ingredients.

Belleville Pantry

These are the Belleville favorites that inspired tonight's dinner.

Finch + Fennel Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Crafted with premium Italian olives, this beautifully balanced extra virgin olive oil brings a fresh, peppery finish that's equally at home sautéing vegetables or drizzled over the finished dish.

La Fabbrica Della Pasta Gluten Free Penne Rigate

Made in Italy using traditional bronze dies, this exceptional gluten-free pasta delivers wonderful texture and beautifully holds creamy sauces in every bite.

DeLallo Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Rich, smooth, and made with quality ingredients, DeLallo's Alfredo Sauce makes an easy weeknight dinner feel restaurant worthy with very little effort.

Available in-store and online at Belleville Market.

Fresh Ingredients

1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2–3 cups frozen broccoli
3–4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Garlic powder (optional)
Italian seasoning (optional)

In the Kitchen

Step 1 | Bring the Water to a Boil

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Step 2 | Season the Chicken

Season the chicken with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, a light sprinkle of garlic powder, and Italian seasoning if desired.

Step 3 | Brown the Chicken

Heat one tablespoon of Finch + Fennel Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the chicken in a single layer.

Allow it to cook undisturbed for two to three minutes before stirring. This develops a beautiful golden crust.

Continue cooking until browned and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.

Step 4 | Cook the Mushrooms

Reduce the heat to medium.

If needed, add another drizzle of Finch + Fennel Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Cook the mushrooms for five to seven minutes, allowing their moisture to evaporate before they begin to brown.

Step 5 | Add the Broccoli

Add the frozen broccoli directly to the skillet.

Cook for about two minutes.

If necessary, add one to two tablespoons of water and cover the pan for another minute or two. The steam quickly thaws the broccoli.

Remove the lid and allow any excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6 | Add the Garlic

Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7 | Cook the Pasta

Meanwhile, cook the La Fabbrica Della Pasta Penne Rigate according to package directions until al dente.

Before draining, reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water.

Step 8 | Finish the Sauce

Reduce the skillet to medium-low heat.

Pour in the DeLallo Creamy Alfredo Sauce and return the chicken to the pan.

Stir gently until warmed through.

If needed, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until the sauce becomes silky and coats the pasta beautifully.

Avoid bringing the Alfredo sauce to a full boil.

Step 9 | Bring It All Together

Add the cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated.

Serve immediately.

Finish with freshly grated Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and a light drizzle of Finch + Fennel Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Belleville Tips

Reserve Your Pasta Water

A splash of pasta water helps loosen the Alfredo sauce while the starch creates a silky texture that beautifully coats the pasta.

Let the Mushrooms Brown

Patience here pays off. Allowing the mushrooms to develop rich golden color builds incredible depth of flavor.

Finish with Great Olive Oil

A drizzle of quality extra virgin olive oil just before serving adds freshness and a subtle peppery finish that perfectly balances the richness of the Alfredo.

Around Our Table

This dinner wasn't planned days in advance.

It started the way so many of our meals do—with a quick look through the pantry, a few fresh ingredients waiting in the refrigerator, and the simple question, "What sounds good tonight?"

Some of our favorite dinners come together this way. They're not complicated or reserved for special occasions. They're the meals shared after a busy day, the conversations that linger a little longer, and the reminder that quality ingredients have a way of making even an ordinary weeknight feel special.

That's what From the Belleville Kitchen is all about. Real meals. Real homes. Thoughtfully chosen ingredients. And the joy of gathering around the table.
