Recipe Introduction
authors note: This is a definite TNT with our family - dh, ds 13 and dd 8 (even
though the
kids won't eat the mushrooms LOL - so I pack all the mushrooms into 2/3
of
the casserole and leave 1/3 plain). I usually cook double - one for
now and
one to freeze. Also, for do-ahead, I keep cooked diced chicken in the
freezer and may cook the pasta a day or two ahead and keep in the
fridge
until ready to put together. I also prepare the night/day before, then
pop
in the oven for its 20 minutes cooking time when arrive home from work.
It's also a forgiving recipe (my dh, even though a food service
manager,
somehow was able to mix up a couple of the measurements and it was a
little
soupy but still delicious :-)!)

List of Ingredients
(serves 8)
2 cups cooked, diced chicken (I use breast meat)
8 oz spaghetti (or similar pasta)
2 cups chicken broth (homemade or canned)
3 TBSP lite margarine (I use butter), divided
3 TBSP flour (I use whole wheat)
¼ tsp black or cayenne pepper (I use ½ tsp or more cayenne)

½ - ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
1 TBSP lemon juice
½ lb mushrooms, sliced
2 TBSP Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded, for topping

pepper.
Cook for a few minutes. Add chicken broth slowly, while stirring.
Simmer

over,
reserving a few to garnish. Spread remaining spaghetti mixture.
