Ingredients

15 minutes
4 servings
  1. 3 cupsrotini noodles
  2. 450 gbutton mushrooms, quartered
  3. 450 gchicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut into large chunks
  4. 1heap tsp Italian seasoning
  5. 1shallot, finely chopped
  6. 3 clovesgarlic, finely chopped
  7. 1 cupheavy cream
  8. 1 cupParmesan cheese, grated
  9. 1 cupcherry tomatoes, halved
  10. 1 handfulItalian parsley, roughly chopped

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

    Drop the rotini into a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook per package instructions.

  2. 2

    Add a good glug of olive oil to a large pan on high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and starting to brown.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, mix the chicken with the Italian seasoning, a good pinch of salt, several grinds of freshly cracked black pepper, and a few tbsp olive oil. Add the chicken, shallot, and garlic to the pan of mushrooms and continue frying until there's no more pink on the chicken (about 5 minutes).

  4. 4

    Add the heavy cream to the pan and turn the heat down to low. Stir in the cheese.

  5. 5

    Once the pasta is cooked, transfer the noodles into the sauce. I use a slotted spatula for this, so that I take just a bit of the pasta water as well. Add the tomatoes and parsley and toss to combine. Serve with a topping of even more grated parmesan.
