Chicken & Mushroom Pasta with Philadelphia Cheese


This again is a really simple recipe to make. All it really takes is cooking some pasta in a pan and frying the rest of the ingredients before mixing them together. I got this recipe from Nosh for Graduates by Joy May (another great book if you want simple (ish) recipes to make but want some variety with food)

Serves 2
aprox. 125g pasta
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
6 sliced mushrooms
100g Philadelphia soft cheese
1tbsp chopped basil
salt & pepper
oil to fry


1. Cook the pasta. Once cooked, drain and return to the pan, adding oil to prevent sticking. Replace lid to keep warm.
2. As the pasta is cooking, heat a little oil in the frying pan. Fry the onion and garlic for 2-3 mins until onions begin to soften.
3. Add the chicken. Cook till no longer pink.
4. Add the mushrooms, cook for 1 minute. Take off the heat and add the cream cheese and the herbs until the cheese has melted. Stir into the pasta. Taste and season.
