An everyday dish for 2, ready in 35 minutes, around $2.09 a serving. People actually plan it with Popotam, and it's in season in October.
Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Salt the water with the pinch of salt.
Add the 160 g of pasta to the boiling water and let it cook for 8 to 10 min, following the time on the package. Drain it in the colander, saving a little cooking water.
Cut the chicken into small 2 cm cubes on the cutting board. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In the hot skillet with the oil, brown the chicken cubes over medium heat for 5 min, uncovered. Set them aside in a bowl.
Give the mushrooms a quick rinse under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut them into thick slices.
In the same skillet you used for the chicken, cook the mushrooms over medium heat with a little oil for 5 min, until they release their water.
Add the crème fraîche to the skillet with the mushrooms and chicken. Mix well and let it warm for 2 min over low heat without boiling.
Return the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Add a little cooking water if it looks too dry. Mix well, then taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
