CREAMY ONE-POT PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS
Cooking pasta the way you would make risotto may sound new and hip. But it's at least old enough to have been demonstrated to me in Rome in 1976, and I imagine as old as pasta itself. In this method, the liquid is minimized: there's no need for a gallon per pound of pasta. The liquid is added gradually to the pasta, which absorbs it completely and thereby retains its starch. This makes the pasta creamy and rich; it also gains the flavor of the stock. You can use pretty much any pasta shape you like, but timing will vary depending on size. This approach may seem like more work than making pasta in the ordinary way. But as the making of the "sauce" is integrated into the pasta-cooking, it really becomes a one-dish meal - as interesting as risotto, and even a bit quicker. Here is a combination of gemelli with mushrooms and chicken to get you started.

Steps:
- Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. When hot, add shallot, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften and begin to brown on edges, about 10 minutes. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is glossy and coated with oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper, then wine. Stir and let liquid bubble away.
- Ladle stock into skillet 1/2 cup or so at a time, stirring after each addition and every minute or so. When liquid is just about evaporated, add more. Mixture should be neither soupy nor dry. Keep heat at medium and stir frequently.
- Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it; you want it to be tender but with a tiny bit of crunch. When pasta is about 3 to 4 minutes away from being done, add chicken and stir to combine. Continue to cook until chicken is done - it will be white on inside when cut - and pasta is how you like it. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley and Parmesan if using, and serve.

- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the chicken and prevent it from tasting bland.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
- Sauté the mushrooms and snap peas until they are tender: Sautéing the mushrooms and snap peas in butter will help to bring out their flavor and give them a slightly caramelized texture.
- Use a good-quality white wine: The white wine in this dish will add a touch of acidity and brightness. Choose a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Simmer the sauce until it is thickened: Simmering the sauce will help to reduce it and thicken it. This will give the sauce a rich, creamy texture.
- Serve the chicken with creamy mushrooms and snap peas over rice or pasta: This dish is delicious served over rice or pasta. The rice or pasta will help to soak up the flavorful sauce.
