Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound portobello mushrooms, stems removed

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 (5.2 ounce) package pepper Boursin cheese

  • ¾ pound uncooked pasta shells

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and heat the olive oil. Cut the mushroom caps in half, and slice 1/4 inch thick. Cook mushrooms in the skillet 8 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt. Stir in the chicken broth and Boursin cheese. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until well blended.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add shell pasta and cook for 5 minutes. Place the asparagus into the pot, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and the asparagus is tender; drain. Toss with the mushroom sauce to serve.
