Ingredients
1-ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 cup hot water
1 pound penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 leek, rinsed well and chopped
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 heaping cup cooked chicken
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup frozen green peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt
Ground black pepper
Directions
- Soak dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for 15 minutes, until soft.
- Cook penne according to package directions.
- While penne is cooking, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and cook for 2 minutes, or until soft. Add shiitake mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Strain porcini mushrooms through a sieve, reserving soaking liquid. Chop porcini mushrooms and add to skillet. Add chicken and tarragon and cook 1 minute, until tarragon is fragrant.
- Add reserved mushroom soaking liquid and 1 cup of the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, using a whisk, dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth and add to the pan with the peas. Simmer 2 minutes until it reaches a full boil, and the sauce thickens. Stir in cooked penne and cook 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
