Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti or fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0 to taste salt and pepper
- 0 for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, cook the spaghetti or fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they’re soft and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the chicken mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the chicken tetrazzini mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
