Steps:
- In a large pot, boil dried bowtie pasta according to package directions. This can be done while the other ingredients are being worked on.
- Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Hammer flat with the flat side of meat tenderizer until chicken is one uniformed thickness, about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in large saute pan over medium heat. I used a large enamel cast iron. Cook chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until chicken is done all the way through. Remove from pan, cover, and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter. Saute sliced garlic for about 2 minutes.
- Add white wine and deglaze the pan. Let simmer for a few moments while you scrape up any bits stuck to the pan and mix the contents.
- Add sliced mushrooms. Reduce heat and let simmer in the sauce for about 8 minutes or until the wine reduces down by at least half. Add heavy cream and cayenne pepper. Bring to low boil, stirring frequently with a whisk. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Mix in parmesan. Add chopped spinach and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
- Monitor sauce by tasting frequently. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne as your tastes prefer.
- Chop chicken into little strips about 1 inch long, 1/2 in wide, or whatever size you prefer.
- Toss cooked bowtie pasta into sauce. Coat well. Add chicken.
- Top with red pepper flakes if preferred. Serve with a side of garlic bread and enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add shallot, sauté about 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic, sauté another minute. Stir in the mushrooms, cook about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the cooking wine along with the thyme and oregano. cook a couple of minutes so the mushrooms absorb the wine.
- Push the mushroom mixture to the sides of the pan, put another tablespoon olive oil into the center of the pan and heat. Cook the chicken on 1 side until that side turns white, about 2-3 minutes, then flip to begin cooking the other side.
- Start cooking the pasta according to package instructions around the time you add the chicken to the skillet.
- When the outside of the chicken pieces are white and beginning to brown, stir up the pan to combine the chicken with mushrooms. Cook a couple minutes more until the chicken is nearly cooked through, then stir in the cream and simmer to finish cooking the chicken. The chicken will need about 10-12 minutes total cooking time-but cut a piece open to see that it is cooked through.
- Drain the pasta when it has cooked to your liking. Toss with the chicken and mushroom mixture and the grated cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl or a deep platter.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season tenders with salt and pepper, place in the hot oil, and cook until lightly brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until light brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add mushrooms and onion to the hot skillet and cook until onion is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Return chicken tenders to skillet and submerge them in the broth mixture. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and place on top of the cooked pasta.
- Continue to cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cream. Add spinach stir until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken and pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.

Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms. They have a more intense flavor than canned or dried mushrooms.
- Choose the right type of mushrooms. Some mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, have a more meaty flavor, while others, like white button mushrooms, have a milder flavor.
- Sauté the mushrooms properly. Cook them over medium-high heat until they are browned and slightly crispy. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give the sauce a rich, creamy flavor.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the pasta immediately. This is when it is at its best.
