Servings 6
Equipment
- Large Skillet

- 1 Lb. Fettuccine Pasta

- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- ½ Cup Heavy Cream
- ½ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese - + more when served.
- Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook pasta to al denté. A few minutes before pasta is finished, add frozen peas to pot to thaw, then drain it all, reserving ¼ cup pasta water.
- In large skillet, melt butter. Sauté shallot and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cream and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat.

Notes
No Cooked Chicken? No problem. Simply cube thigh or breast meat into bite-sized pieces and sauté in 2 Tbsp. EVOO until all the pink is gone. Reserve chicken in a bowl, then add butter and use the same skillet to continue with the recipe as above.
Substitute a Medium Onion for the shallot.
