Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Step 1: Prepare Pasta and Sauce. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in 1 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Step 2
Step 2: Combine and Assemble. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, shredded chicken, and mushroom sauce. Toss until fully coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, remaining 0.5 cups of Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the pasta.
Step 3
Step 3: Bake and Serve. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Three Step Tetrazzini!
