Ingredients
- 12 oz Penne Pasta
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil, plus extra if needed
- 2 Chicken breasts, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 8 oz pack baby Portabella Mushrooms, washed and sliced
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ cups Half and half or whole Milk
- ½ (up to 3/4 cup) crumbled Blue Cheese
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan Cheese plus extra for serving
- 2 tsp dried Parsley or 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions or until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saute pan. Saute the chicken pieces until cooked about 3-4 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Add a little more oil into the pan. Saute the vegetables until tender and the mushrooms have released their juices. Transfer the cooked chicken to the pan. Stir everything.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and cook in low heat until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is quite creamy. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Gently mix the cooked pasta into the sauce. Serve immediately. Serve with more parmesan cheese, if desired.
