Farfalle With Chicken And Mushrooms Recipes

FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put a pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.
• If your chicken breasts have tenderloins attached, remove them and set aside. Place each piece of chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness of about 1/2-inch.
• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a zip-top plastic bag. Slice the chicken breasts (and tenderloins) crosswise into 3/4-inch strips, transfer them to the bag and shake until coated with the seasoned flour. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and minced garlic and continue cooking until the mushrooms are lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• While the onions and mushrooms are sautéing, cook and drain the pasta according to package directions. Return the pasta to the pot, drizzle with a little olive oil and set aside.
• Return the pan you cooked the mushrooms in to the stove over medium-high heat and add 2 more tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken strips, a few at a time, shaking off any excess flour first.
• Cook the chicken, turning often, until the strips are barely golden on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes total.
• Deglaze the pan with the sherry, scraping up any browned bits that may have accumulated on the bottom of the pan.
• Stir in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes, then return the mushroom mixture to the pan and combine.
• Stir in the cream and parsley, cook for an additional minute, combine with the pasta and serve immediately.

FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN, PORCINI MUSHROOM AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Boil the broth and mushrooms over medium-high heat in a small saucepan. Turn off the heat and allow the mushrooms to soften in the liquid, about 20 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and coarsely chop. Reserve the liquid.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup pasta water.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick saute pan. Add the shallots mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chard in batches and cook until wilted, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the mascarpone cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the mushroom mixture, chicken and the reserved mushroom-cooking liquid to the pasta. Add reserved pasta water if necessary. Toss until all the ingredients are coated and serve.

FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS, SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Add salt, and then add the farfalle.
• Cook until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the oil.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and, once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan; brown on all sides, and then add the onions and cook for a minute or two.
• Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, and some salt and pepper.
• Sauté until all vegetables are tender.
• Increase the heat to medium high and add the vermouth.
• Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, and then stir in the diced tomatoes (and a few tablespoons of juice), red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, basil, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium-low, simmering until the flavors have developed (and chicken has cooked through).
• Add the spinach and cook until wilted down, about 2-3 minutes.
• Season to taste.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat.
• Off the heat, stir in the ricotta cheese.

FARFALLE WITH FENNEL AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place the mushrooms in a bowl, add the water and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Start bringing a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add the onion and fennel and cook over medium-low heat until the vegetables just begin to brown.
• While the vegetables are cooking, drain the mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Dry the mushrooms on a paper towel, slice them and add them to the pan. When they are heated through, strain and add the mushroom liquid. Cook over high heat for several minutes, until the liquid just moistens the vegetables. Stir in the cream and remove the pan from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the water has come to a boil add a generous pinch of salt and the farfalle. Cook the farfalle until it is al dente, about six minutes. Drain it thoroughly, then add it to the pan with the mushrooms and fennel.
• Cook the farfalle with the vegetables, stirring gently, two to three minutes, until the ingredients are well blended and the cream has thickened and clings to the pasta. Stir in the fennel tops and cheese and serve.
