Ingredients

  • 1 cube — chicken bouillon

  • ½ cup — hot water

  • ½ (16 ounce) package — farfalle (bow tie) pasta

  • 3 tablespoons — olive oil

  • 2 cloves — garlic, minced

  • 1 (8 ounce) package — sliced baby bella mushrooms

  • ¼ teaspoon — salt

  • ¼ cup — white wine

  • ⅛ teaspoon — ground white pepper

  • 1 pinch — crushed red pepper

  • ¼ cup — grated Asiago cheese

Directions

  • Dissolve bouillon cube in hot water and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until tender yet firm to the bite. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, add olive oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and salt. Cook until mushrooms begin to release liquid, about 3 minutes. Add wine, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, white pepper, and crushed red pepper. Continue to cook until liquid is reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  • Toss mushroom mixture with cooked pasta. Top with Asiago cheese and serve.
