Pasta with Mushrooms and Chipotle Cream Sauce

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

I have signed up for this month's Taste & Create event after a long time and I'm paired with Min @ The Bad Girl's Kitchen. There are a ton of dessert recipes that I looked awesome and I really wanted to try them from her blog, but it's just me and my 5 year old at home this week, so didn't feel like making a whole batch of anything. When I saw this penne pasta with chipotle cream sauce recipe, I knew I had to make it. It sounded delicious and I had all the ingredients at home. I made...

Ingredients

• 8 oz pasta (. (I used Wholewheat Rotini))
• 1 red onion (- small)
• 8 oz mushrooms (. - chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (- finely chopped)
• 2 tsp Chipotle peppers
• 1 cup heavy cream
• supermarket roast chicken, approximately 200g once shredded
• to taste Salt Pepper (&)
• 2 tbsps parsley (- for garnish)

Method

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In the meantime, heat 1tbsp butter in a saute pan; add onions and garlic, cook until onions turn translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
