Chicken & Broccoli Pasta

about 8-10 oz. pasta (any will work; I used linquini)
1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped
1/2 lb. fresh muchrooms, chopped
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken
1/2 c. milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 c. parmesan cheese, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 Tblsp. butter
black pepper, to taste

Cook pasta according to directions on box; for the last few minutes, add broccoli to water. Drain.
In large skillet, heat butter to saute' mushrooms and garlic; add chicken, and cook until browned.
Add milk, soup, cheese,and pasta mixture to heat through. Add basil before serving, and pepper to taste.

(We had this for the first time this week, and it will definately grace our table frequently in the future! I think next time, I will try it with shrimp instead of chicken, and perhaps add scallions to it as well)
