Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 30 mins


• fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. stir in penne and return to a boil. cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
• cook and stir olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over high heat just until brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. add chicken and mushrooms; stir to coat with garlic and olive oil. cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. stir in cream of mushroom soup; gradually add 1/2 cup of water about 1 tablespoon at a time, adding enough to make sauce light and creamy.
• reduce heat to medium-low heat and gently fold pasta into the chicken and sauce until coated. add garlic salt and red pepper to taste; remove from heat and serve.
