I do love The Cheesecake Factory - I have never had a bad meal at any of their restaurants that I've visited, but I have to admit that I'm even more addicted to their pasta dishes than to their cheesecakes! Ingredients:
1 lb penne pasta |
1/2 red onion, chopped |
1 cup mushroom, quartered |
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped |
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces |
6 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 cups madeira wine |
1 cup water |
4 tablespoons heavy cream |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Prepare pasta following the direction on pasta package.
2. Saute onions, mushrooms and garlic in 1 tablespoon of the butter until tender. Remove the onions, mushrooms and garlic and set them aside.
3. In the same pan, cook the chicken, stirring frequently. Remove the chicken and set aside until later.
4. To the same pan, add 2 tablespoons butter and melt over a low-medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir to make a roux. Slowly add in the wine, water and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Cook over a medium heat until thickened, stirring often. Add the parsley and let simmer for a few minutes.
5. Add the chicken, mushrooms, garlic and onions back in and simmer for 2 more minutes. Pour over the pasta and server with Parmesan cheese.
