Pasta Perfecto
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, divided
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 pound rigatoni or penne, cooked according to package directions and drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
