1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 sliced mushrooms, sauteed
1/3 cup frozen peas

Directions

1
Boil pasta in lightly salted water.
2
Fry chicken in canola until lightly browned, set aside.

In large pot sauté garlic in butter or margarine, do not brown.

I liked this pretty well. I agree It does seem to be missing a bit of something, but not sure what. Although, my husband really liked it and he's not a huge pasta fan. I will make it again!

I just thought this was ok... it seemed to be lacking something... but I can't put my finger on it. My BF really liked it and had 2 helpings plus he took some for lunch today... It reminds me of chicken alfredo... I used spaghetti (no shells in the house) and about 3/4 c of sliced cremini mushrooms. We don't like peas so I subbed in a little broccoli... I thought the amount of sauce was a lot when I started making it, but once you stir in the pasta, it really coats it well... so if you like "saucy" pasta, this is a good one to try. We might try it again... just to add in more spices to jazz it up... loved the nutmeg! Thanks for sharing!!!

I loved this, my step daughter who does not eat anything but hot dogs and Chicken McNuggets LOVES this. I have to use corn starch to thicken, (I'm learning to cook) It;s easy to make, and I use the galic in a jar. Turns out wonderful! I have shared this receipe with many people! Thanks Shmo!

Very easy to make, inexpensive (common ingredients). Anyone can make this, even if you have JUST started cooking. Note: The sauce will thicken ALOT, so don't let it get too thick before you add your chicken, pasta... otherwise it will be very mushy.
