Shrimp & Mushroom Penne
with Garlicky Panko & Parmesan
- Wheat
- Milk
- Shellfish
Treat yourself to truffles with tonight’s ’shroom-packed pasta. You’ll start with penne, which you’ll cook until tender, then toss in a silky, savory sauce of sautéed button mushrooms, garlic powder, mushroom stock, cream cheese, and Parmesan. A swirl of butter and dusting of truffle seasoning take the rich and umami flavors to the next level. Garnish everything with crunchy, garlicky panko, then pour yourself a glass of wine and toast to a restaurant-worthy dinner.

Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels or open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko; cook, stirring, until golden and toasted, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later). Cook until just fragrant, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.
• Add penne to pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain.
• While pasta cooks, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
• Stir scallion whites, remaining garlic powder, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) into pan with mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate, cream cheese, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), and 1/3 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until combined and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. • Stir in tomato, another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), and truffle seasoning to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in shrimp or chicken along with tomato.
• Stir drained penne into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated, adding water a splash at a time until sauce reaches a creamy consistency. • Divide between bowls; top with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle with as much garlicky panko as you like and serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I liked all the flavors a lot. But in answer to your question, I used much less butter than your recipe calls for - that is the only change I made. I am a lifetime Weight Watchers member, and I have found that leaving out one or two tablespoons of butter from this kind of multi-ingredient recipe doesn't affect the flavor, at least that I can tell. Of course it does decrease the calories and fat, which I like.
Delicious, enough sauce but not enough pasta to feed myself and my husband. I had to add 4oz of my own pasta to this recipe. I am finding that portion sizes are too small with every meal I've had so far. Pasta is cheap...why not include enough for 2 servings? "Serving size" is meant to include an entree and dessert...but the majority of people don't bother with this for family meals.
I customized with shrimp and omg this is My favorite meal so far!!!
It's very good, but they forgot to send the truffle powder and that's what makes the flavor!
So good, too much salt. My fault I know. Otherwise delicious.
The shrimp was an important addition, but it still wasn't flavorful enough
