Linguine in Mushroom Sauce

This is the first time I made pasta in this way and I think the result is satisfactory although hubby said it'll taste better with more black pepper or a bit of cheese. Anyway, we don't have cheese at home except sliced cheddar cheese, so maybe next time ;p The mushroom taste is not very strong and perhaps using button mushroom or some other type of mushroom would be better. Anyway, I like the thick sauce even though no cream is used (I prefer not to use any cream since it's very fattening ;p).



Ingredients:
Linguine (cooked per packet instruction)
Fresh shitake mushroom (sliced - can't remember how much I put in ;p)
Onion (sliced and cut into smaller pieces)
Salt
Black Pepper
Mixed Herbs (dried)
Milk (I used low fat milk - don't have cream at home ;p)
Chicken Meat (deboned and cubed)
Tomatoes (cubed)
Garlic
Oil
Water


Method:
1. Heat some oil and saute onion.
2. Put in about 1 cup of sliced mushroom and leave the rest aside.
3. Season with some salt, black pepper and mixed herbs. Dish up.
4. Pour milk into the blender. Add in the mushroom in 3. Blend well. Put aside.
5. Heat some oil and saute the garlic.
6. Add in chicken and stir fry with some salt and black pepper.
7. Pour in tomatoes and the remaining mushrom, stir fry for 1 min.
8. Pour in the blended mushroom sauce. Season with salt.
9. Cook till it simmers and sauce thickens.
10. Sauce is ready and you can just pour it on top of the cooked linguine.
