Method
Preparation
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chicken, frozen peas, and half of the shredded cheese. Pour the creamy sauce over this mixture, stirring until everything is well coated.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. For a crispy top, you can broil it for a minute or two at the end.
- Once cooled a tad, sprinkle the casserole with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm, and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to customize with additional vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent burns.
