Boujee Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta

Boujee Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta
Another dish we seem to make far too often. Especially when we’re trying to diet.
Flavours here are just too good to run from. Garlic, butter, mushrooms.
We also make a delicious alternative where we take 2 large roasted red peppers from a jar, with a little bit of the oil from the jar, into a blender and blitz. Add this to the creamy sauce to create a delicious alternative which is bright pink in colour!
Serves 4

  10. Cook reverse side for 4 minutes again, should be nicely browned.
  11. Remove from pan and set aside with the pancetta.
  12. In the same pan add your butter. 
  13. When the butter begins to brown add your mushrooms.
  14. When they begin to sweat add your garlic and your shallots.
  15. Cook for about 5 minutes while stirring.

  17. Add your pasta to your salted boiling water while this happens.

  26. Stir to dissolve the parmesan.
  27. Add your pasta water.
  28. Simmer for 4 minutes.
  29. For the sheer size of the dish, and my tiny pan, I then chuck the whole thing in a large dutch oven, or a large pot. 
  30. Add your pasta then and mix very very well.
  31. Coating all the pasta in the sauce.
  32. Remove and serve in bowls.
  33. Remaining parmesan and your parsley can be chucked on top.
