1 tbsp tomato paste

½ cup white wine

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Method
Pre-heat a *Calphalon One 35cm Everyday Pan* over medium heat for between 5-7 minutes, or until you can feel the heat off the pan when a hand is held approximately 30cm above.

Add oil and butter to pan and sauté onion and garlic over low heat until onion is tender. Increase heat to medium, add chicken and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, add mushrooms and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.

Mix in tomato paste and wine. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer until liquid has reduced by half.

Stir in cream, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer until sauce begins to thicken. Whilst sauce is thickening, cook pasta in rapidly boiling water until al dente. Drain cooked pasta and add to sauce, toss thoroughly to combine. Serve immediately sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan if desired.
