On most nights, a bowl of creamy pasta with savory mushrooms is perhaps the best thing ever. This heavenly dish starts with al dente penne pasta covered with a Parmesan cream sauce. It's topped with said mushrooms, sautéed shallots, and tomatoes. This dish is an elegant reminder that elevated comfort food doesn't have to take a lot of time.

Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using ground beef, break up beef until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using salmon, pat dry. Cook, skin-side up first, until fish reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Add to pasta as desired.
