Chicken broth is used to add flavor and consistency to the sauce. You can make your sauce more rich by replacing the chicken broth with an additional ½ cup of heavy cream. For additional flavor you can use white wine instead of part of all of the broth.

2. Sauteing the mushrooms in an important step in this recipe as it provides this dish with an essential flavor. You want your mushrooms to have a golden to deep brown color and have released their liquid. Proper browning is what creates the intense umami flavor which is key to the dish.
3. What is the best kind of pasta to use in this dish? Fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti have the perfect surface for holding the creamy sauce. Bite-sized or thin pasta will not hold the sauce as well.
