One of my favorite dishes to make on a busy weeknight is pasta. Honestly, I have a huge collection of pasta ideas in my recipe repertoire. And this include elaborate and fancy meals to quick and easy weeknight favorites.

This creamy mushroom fettuccine happened on a day when I wanted whip up something simple yet satisfying for dinner. Pasta is a staple in our house. So I decided to make pasta, and use chicken as the protein element in the dish. A complete meal is not 100% 'complete' without some veggies in it. You know, to make it more nutritious. And here comes the two classic veggies - mushrooms and green peas. Without a doubt, mushrooms in creamy sauce is just heavenly!
This pasta is obviously super creamy and super cheesy. Are you super excited about this recipe now? I know you are. Seriously, this fettuccine recipe is so good!
This quick and easy mushroom fettuccine recipe starts with sautéing red onions and then garlic. Cut chicken into thin strips so it will cook faster. Mushrooms also gets a quick sautéing in the oil. Now the creamy part. I used heavy or thickened cream in the recipe. Feel free to use low fat if you like.
In order to give this dish an extra pop of flavor, I added a couple of chicken cubes. Just because, you know, I love that extra deliciousness. Next up, pasta goes in the creamy sauce to absorb all the flavor goodness.
Now it's time for the cheesy part of this pasta recipe. And this comes in the form of parmesan cheese. I think half a cup is enough to add up to the flavor. But add more if you love cheese. And finally, a sprinkle of basil. Oh, don't forget the second veggie - green peas. I used frozen green peas as they are more convenient. Don't you love that green pop of color?
So, are you ready to make this freaking delicious mushroom fettuccine?
