Spaghetti with Chicken and Wild Mushrooms

2 tbs butter

1/4 cup shallots, finely diced

6 oz Chanterelles, Morels or Shitake mushrooms, cut into bite-size pieces

6 oz button mushrooms, sliced

3/4 cup port wine

1 cup cooked chicken, diced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

8 oz spaghetti, prepared according to package directions

1/2 cup tomato, seeded and diced

1 tbs fresh parsley, finely chopped

In a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the shallots until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the port, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken, and whisk in the heavy cream. Reduce, at a simmer, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with spaghetti and garnish with tomato and parsley.
