Equipment

• 1 Large Skillet
• 1 Large pot
• 1 Tongs
• 1 Colander or pasta claw
• 1 Garlic Press or sharp knife

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 12 ounces pasta linguini or orecchiette
• 3/4 stick butter
• 1 pound wild mushrooms clean, sliced thin
• 1 chicken breast sliced into pieces I use organic rotisserie chicken from my favorite market
• 3-4 cloves garlic chopped fine
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if desired for a little kick
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 2 cups good parmigiano/reggiano cheese grated fine
• 1 tsp finely chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

 

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan,
• On medium heat, add half the butter, then add the mushrooms. Cook until they become soft. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, S & P.
• Add pieces of rotisserie chicken.
  
• Add the pasta and cook for 12 minutes, or until al dente.
• When you add the pasta, your mushrooms should be cooked. Add the heavy cream – over medium heat; bring briefly to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the cheese little by little, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, usually done when the pasta is ready.
  
• Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• When the pasta is ready, add a ladle of pasta water to the sauce, drain the pasta, and add it to the pan with the Alfredo.
  
• Gently toss together over low heat, garnish, and serve immediately.
  

Notes

Plate and add parsley or thyme to garnish, divide among four plates, and serve immediately.

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS:

To reheat your leftovers, place them in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Once it starts to warm, add a splash of milk or cream. Stir well with a wooden spoon and increase the heat to medium. Let it simmer, but be careful not to let it boil.
