In this quick, cozy pasta dish, earthy mushrooms meet garlicky dark meat chicken and tender penne in a satisfyingly silky and savory sauce. The key? Crème fraîche: Similar to sour cream but thicker and tangier, it gives pasta a rich flavor and glossy finish. Sprinkle with scallion greens for a pop of color and zippy flavor, then dig right in!

Instructions

Prep
1

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Cook Pasta
2

• Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Cook Chicken & Make Sauce
3

• While pasta cooks, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, and scallion whites; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and tender and chicken is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in drained penne, 1⁄4 cup reserved pasta cooking water, veggie stock concentrate, mushroom stock concentrate, mustard, crème fraîche, 2 TBSP butter, and a pinch of sugar (1/3 cup reserved pasta cooking water, 4 TBSP butter, and a big pinch of sugar for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until sauce is smooth and everything is coated, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Open package of chopped chicken breast* and drain off any excess liquid or rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Swap in chopped chicken breast or shrimp for dark meat chicken.

Serve

• Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
