White wine: white wine helps deglaze the pan and adds great flavor to this chicken and mushroom pasta. We prefer using a dry white wine.Garlic: the more garlic the better in our opinion. If you’re not a garlic person, feel free to use less. Mushrooms: the star of the show –> mushrooms, of course! We prefer to use a variety of mushroom types for flavor and texture. Salt: salt is an important ingredient for cooking down the mushrooms so that the moisture gets drawn out.Tomato paste: tomato paste adds a little acidity and thickens this chicken mushroom pasta sauce. Starchy pasta water: don’t forget to set pasta water aside to thicken the pasta sauce. Beef Broth: when we want to add a bit of depth to pasta sauces we add a bit of beef broth. It adds so much flavor and richness. Any broth will do. Flour: you toss the chicken pieces with flour and spices before searing them. It gives the chicken a bit of a crust and also helps thicken the sauce a bit.
