Ingredients

• 12 oz Spaghetti or linguine
• 2 cups Cooked chicken, shrimp, or turkey (shredded or chopped)
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 oz Mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 small Onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Dry white wine (optional)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti or linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

Step 4

Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

If using white wine, stir it in at this stage and cook for 1-2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.

Step 8

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Combine the cooked spaghetti, cooked chicken/shrimp/turkey, mushroom mixture, and the sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together until well-coated.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the Tetrazzini rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
