How to Make Fettuccine With Chicken And Mushrooms In Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

  1. Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 pound of fettuccine and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente, stirring occasionally.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 shallots (finely chopped) to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and softened, stirring frequently.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc), 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of fresh basil leaves, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and 4 ounces of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
  8. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Ensure the chicken is heated through.
  9. Drain the cooked fettuccine and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Gorgonzola cheese and fresh basil (optional).
