Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced
½ cup diced onion
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed and softened
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese

  • Fold in Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, then parsley. Toss with pasta and peas, adding reserved cooking liquid as necessary to make a sauce.
