Cheesecake Factory Pasta Da Vinci

Cheesecake Factory Pasta Da Vinci combines tender penne pasta and chunks of chicken with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, caramelized red onions, and garlic in a creamy sauce made with Madeira wine, chicken broth, sour cream, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. The sauce develops a rich, velvety texture as it reduces and incorporates butter in stages. This dish balances savory umami flavors from the mushrooms and cheese with the subtle sweetness of caramelized onions, making it a hearty and satisfying pasta meal.
