Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Boil the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until slightly golden.

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Remove sauce from heat.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5-6 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, chicken, mushrooms, peas, and the Parmesan sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and breadcrumbs.
