CREAMY ONE-POT PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS



Creamy One-Pot Pasta With Chicken and Mushrooms image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
1 shallot or small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups crimini, shiitake or button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
1/2 pound cut pasta like gemelli or penne, or long pasta broken into bits
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
3 to 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 boneless chicken thighs, diced
Chopped fresh parsley, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan, optional

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.

Categories     Pasta and Noodles     Pasta by Shape Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds chicken tenders, patted dry
salt and ground black pepper to taste
24 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
3 cups chicken broth
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup heavy cream
2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
2 tablespoons coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

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.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces pasta, i like bowties
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon parsley

Steps:

  • Toss with drained pasta.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh mushrooms, chicken, and herbs will give the dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give the sauce a rich, creamy texture. Avoid using milk or half-and-half, as they will not thicken the sauce properly.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. This dish is best served hot, so make sure to cook the pasta just before you're ready to serve it.
