Amazing penne pasta with chicken. Step by step recipe

1. First, prepare the garlic: it needs to be peeled, crushed with a knife and chopped.

3. Grate mozzarella cheese on a coarse grater and leave in a separate bowl.
4. Pour olive or vegetable oil into a preheated pan, add chopped garlic. When it is a little fried, add chopped onions.
5. Prepare the mushrooms. If you use mushrooms or oyster mushrooms, which when frying give a lot of moisture, then it is better to fry them in advance, so that excess moisture is gone. If you use royal oyster mushrooms, you can cut them into small cubes and immediately add to the pan to the onion and garlic.
6. Add mushrooms only when the onions are fried. If you do not like heavily fried onions, then fry it until transparent and add the mushrooms.

12. When the sauce is brought to the desired taste, add pasta to it, mix all the ingredients, cover and leave to cook over low heat for about twenty minutes: until tender. Stir the pasta periodically so that they cook evenly.
13. While pasta is cooked, the spinach needs to be cut into thin strips, and the tomatoes just cut in half.
14. When the pasta is almost ready, you need to add chopped spinach and tomatoes, mix everything.
