Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti or linguine
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or additional broth)
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth, heavy cream, and white wine. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in cooked chicken, peas (if using), and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan, mozzarella, panko, and parsley. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of white and dark chicken meat.
- To make ahead, assemble the casserole (without topping) and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add topping and bake, adding 10 minutes to baking time.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
