Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Wash, salt, pepper and fry the chicken breast in a little ghee until golden brown. Be careful not to overcook the meat, wean it when it is nice and juicy.
Then fry the sliced mushrooms, onion and bacon in the pan. Pour in the cream, stir, add the grated parmesan and mozzarella to the mixture and season with dried oregano. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes. For a creamier consistency, add the pasta water.
Put the pasta and sauce on a plate, add the sliced chicken breast, the final touch of spring onions and enjoy!
