Directions

Prep 5 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the tablespoon of salt, and stir until dissolved. Add the pasta, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    While the pasta cooks, slice the mushrooms and cut the chicken breasts into small squares. Grate the cheese and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a pan, heat the olive oil over low heat, add the peeled garlic clove, and cook until lightly browned. Remove the garlic.

  4. 4

    Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the liquid evaporates, add the chicken, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

  5. 5

    In a saucepan, heat the milk and shredded cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and combined with the milk.

  6. 6

    Return the mushroom and chicken to the heat. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the chicken and mushrooms. Pour the cheese sauce over the mixture.

  7. 7

    Stir well for another minute until the cheese sauce reaches a creamy consistency and coats the pasta.
