I was so excited to have Coach Jama Mahalela in my kitchen for this episode! He is the head coach of the Raptors 905 (basketball team) and a foodie! We talked about his love of food, basketball and coaching. I chose a pasta recipe because I remember when Patrick, my husband, was playing professional basketball, pasta was a big part of his diet.
We were married and living in Italy and I didn’t know many pasta recipes so I had to learn some. Needless to say, I fell in love with the alfredo sauce! I use to make it with crème fraîche, which is much better then heavy whipping cream in my opinion. If you have some crème fraiche, please use it. The cheese makes it so creamy and delicious that you will keep asking for more!
Hope you enjoy it! Buon appetito! 😝

Description
This is a great one pot dish recipe. You can put any vegetable that you like. I like to use mushrooms or broccolini with this recipe.

- In the meantime, put on some oil on medium high in a sauce pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and put it in.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through (the chicken shouldn’t be pink inside)
- Put the chicken aside
- In the same sauce pan, put in the garlic and shallots on medium heat. Do not burn them.
- Once they are sautéed (shallots would be translucent), add the mushroom. Let them cook for 3-5 min while stirring
