Creamy Mushroom Pasta is a quick and tasty dinner dish, perfect even with classic chicken breast. I enjoy the combination of chicken and pasta, and when we add mushrooms and sweet cream with the right spices, it becomes a quick, tasty, and nutritious dish that can also be taken to work for lunch.
How to choose the best ingredients for Creamy Mushrooms Pasta
Mushrooms: choose the mushrooms you have. They will be sliced, so they do not have to be perfect in appearance.
Onion: I prefer medium brown or white onions. Keep in mind that white onions have a spicier taste. Red onions or shallots are also suitable for this recipe.
Chicken breast: Make sure to select the best quality chicken breasts available. You will need three large halves of chicken breast for this recipe. If you prefer, you can also use other filleted parts of the chicken; just be sure to clean them thoroughly before adding the meat to the dish.
Whippy cream: Remember to dilute the whipped cream with milk using a 2:1 ratio of 200 ml (1 oz) of whipped cream to 100 ml (1/4oz) of milk. Mix them well before adding to the food, especially if the dish is too greasy for your taste.
Tips and Tricks for Creamy Mushrooms Pasta
- You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few days, making it convenient for quick lunches.
- I like to have mushrooms prepared in advance, i.e., washed, chopped, and frozen. You can also use them for this sauce.
- I don’t peel mushrooms, but I wash them thoroughly. Alternatively, I trim off the dirty parts of the stems. I always wash the mushrooms under running water and never in a bowl of water, as mushrooms absorb water quickly like sponges.
