• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Dice tomato into 1⁄2-inch pieces.
• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, undisturbed, until slightly softened and browned, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. TIP: Start chicken once pasta is boiling! • Add chicken to pan with veggies. (TIP: If pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil.) Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• Stir diced tomato, tomato paste, and 1/3 cup water (3⁄4 cup for 4 servings) into pan with chicken and veggies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add water a splash at a time.
• Toss drained cavatappi with 3 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Taste and season with salt. • Divide buttered noodles between shallow bowls. Top with stew and serve.
