1 Teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 Cups sliced crimini mushrooms

3/4 Cup heavy cream
3 Tablespoons vodka
1 Pound whole grain penne pasta, cooked al dente

Instructions

In a large saut� pan over high heat, add the oil and when hot, add the onions and saut� for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the red chile flakes and garlic and saut� for 1 minute longer. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper and add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the mushrooms, zucchini, and canned tomatoes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
