This is based on a favorite recipe that my mom made during my growing up years. I've lightened it up, so it is now a healthy dish that I make for my family and we love it!

Add mushrooms and saute until soft and moisture has evaporated. Add parsley and basil and saute for another 30 seconds. Add dried mushrooms, evaporated milk and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with a bit of water and mix to a smooth paste. Add to sauce and stir until thickened. Add chicken and accumulated juices to sauce and simmer on low for 40 minutes (make sure chicken is cooked). In the meantime, cook pasta according to package directions.

Sprinkle cheese on top and bake uncovered for about 20 minutes (heated through and cheese beginning to brown). Enjoy!!!!
