1 Cook the Pasta
Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Remove from burner. Reserve 2 cups pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander/strainer and set aside.Tip: Reserving pasta cooking water is a time-honored chef trick. This salty, starchy liquid is perfect for adding flavor and controlling thickness of sauces.While pasta cooks, continue recipe. -

Quarter mushrooms.
Core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice.Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.Stem basil, stack leaves, roll into a long cylinder, and slice lengthwise to create very thin strips. Reserve stem. -

Add mushrooms and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 3-5 minutes.Add shallots, bell peppers, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil stem, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally until vegetables soften, 2-3 minutes.Add tomato sauce and 3/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water. Bring to a simmer.Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce thickens, 6-8 minutes.If too thick, add additional reserved pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.While sauce simmers, continue recipe. -
4 Cook the Chicken
Pat chicken dry. Cover with plastic wrap and use a heavy object to pound to an even 1/4" thickness. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.
Evenly spread panko on a plate.Coat both sides of chicken evenly with mayonnaise, then place chicken onto panko, pressing gently to adhere to both sides.Place another medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let heat, 3 minutes.After 3 minutes, add chicken to hot pan and fry until golden-brown and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.Remove from burner.

5 Add Pasta and Finish Dish
