Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 100g sliced mushrooms
• 3/4 cup Madeira wine
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1/4 cup butter

Chicken is the star of this dish, providing a great source of protein. The mushrooms add an earthy flavor which when saut��ed with butter, pairs perfectly with Madeira wine’s sweet taste. If you are vegan, feel free to swap out the chicken for tofu and use vegan butter!

How To Make Cheesecake Factory Pasta Da Vinci

1. First and foremost, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. It should be al dente, firm to the bite.
2. In the meantime, heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken after butter has melted completely. Make sure to spread the pieces and cook them evenly for 5-7 minutes. Put a lid on it!
3. Once your chicken is perfectly golden-brown, toss the mushrooms into the mix & saut�� until they’re softened. Now, take your pan off the flame and add Madeira wine. Let the alcohol cook out and let it reduce a bit. This really intensifies the flavor.
4. Finally, go ahead and pour in the heavy cream, stir it and let it simmer for few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix until it is covered with the sauce.
5. Voila! Serve your Pasta Da Vinci hot with a sprig of fresh parsley on top for garnish.
