Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti or linguine

- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil or butter for sautéing
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Prepare spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a little oil or butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender. Stir in the peas and cook until warmed through.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add garlic and onion powder. Bring to a simmer and let cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

- Transfer to oven: If you like, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Broil for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
For extra creaminess, mix in a splash of white wine while the sauce simmers. Feel free to add more veggies or substitute turkey for chicken.
