Chicken & Mushroom Cavatappi
with Scallions & Parmesan
If you’re mad for mushrooms, a fan of fungi, or crazy for creminis, this pasta will treat you right: it’s loaded with ’shroom slices. They’re the flavor backbone of this recipe, bringing all those deep, earthy flavors that you know and love. We’ve added springy cavatappi spirals, a creamy garlic herb sauce, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese (mushrooms, pasta, and dairy are pretty much best friends, after all). Get ready for this umami bomb to make waves at your dinner table.

Instructions
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and slice mushrooms into ¼-inch-thick pieces. (Skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!) Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy, 5-7 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wash out pan.
Use pan used for chicken or sausage here.
• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
• While pasta cooks, melt 2 TBSP plain butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for mushrooms over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook until just softened, 1 minute. • Add flour and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. • Whisk in milk and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4), breaking up any flour clumps. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir cream cheese into pan with sauce until melted and combined. • Stir in mushrooms, drained cavatappi, and garlic herb butter. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
Stir in chicken or sausage along with mushrooms.
• Divide pasta between bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan and scallion greens. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
