Creamy sauce, tender chicken, and pasta come together in this comforting baked casserole. I love using rotisserie chicken here to make weeknight dinners easier and more delicious.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz spaghetti or linguine Cooked al dente
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced Rotisserie works well
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced White or cremini
  • ½ cup butter Unsalted
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour Thickener for roux
  • 2 cups chicken broth Low sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream For richness
  • ½ cup dry white wine Optional
  • 1 cup frozen peas Thawed
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Divided use
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese For melting
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 medium onion, diced Yellow or white
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Fresh is best
  • salt and pepper To taste

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 Baking dish Greased
  • 1 Large skillet For sauce
  • 1 Large pot For boiling pasta
  • 1 Whisk For roux
  • 1 Large bowl For mixing

Method
 

  1. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente to ensure it holds its shape during baking.
  2. Sauté onion in olive oil until translucent, then add mushrooms until golden brown.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook briefly until the aroma becomes fragrant.
  4. Whisk flour into melted butter and cook specifically to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Simmer broth, cream, and wine with the roux until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Mix pasta, chicken, vegetables, and sauce gently in a large bowl to coat everything evenly.
  7. Bake the assembled dish topped with cheese at 350°F until golden and bubbling.
  8. Rest the casserole for 10 minutes so the sauce sets properly before serving.
