Steps:
- Using a medium saute pan, add oil, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and then saute until mushrooms are soft.
- Add chicken about halfway through the saute (you can also use grilled chicken and add it at the end if you want).
- Now add cream and half and half mixture with the gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan; put back on a medium flame; reduce until bubbles thicken, but don't overcook! The sauce will become clumpy on noodles once served, if overcooked.
- Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper for taste (you most likely will have to do this).
- If you precooked the noodles warm them up in a hot water bath before adding to the sauce.
- Add a little water to the sauce with the noodles because the noodles really absorb the sauce.
- Note: This recipe should make 1 serving and you usually add about a handful and a half of cooked penne to the sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is so delicious, and I hope my amounts are correct!

- Stir in Gorgonzola cheese until melted. Add mushrooms, seasoning blend, and pepper; simmer over medium-low heat until sauce has reduced and desired thickness is achieved, about 30 minutes. I think it's just about perfect when the bubbles start to look like a heavy rain hitting the ground.
