Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I came up with this recipe one day from what I had on hand in my pantry and freezer and it became one of my family's favorites. It also freezes really well, so sometimes I only make half and put the other half in the freezer before baking in case of last minute dinner or to take to a friend or neighbor. The whole recipe makes a 9x13 pan, so it's great to take to a potluck.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Cheesy and creamy, this easy chicken tetrazzini is a fantastic fall dinner. The flavors from the mushrooms, pimentos, and Alfredo together make for a warm and cozy meal. This is sure to be a hit on your dinner table. Keep this recipe handy for Thanksgiving leftovers. It will work great with turkey, too.

Ingredients For easy chicken tetrazzini

  • 1 lb
    spaghetti
  • 2 Tbsp
    butter
  • 8 oz
    sliced mushrooms (I prefer fresh, but you can use canned)
  • 2 jar
    Alfredo sauce (15 oz each)
  • 1 can
    cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz)
  • 1 can
    cream of cheddar cheese soup (10.5 oz)
  • 2-3 c
    cooked chicken
  • 1 jar
    pimentos (4 oz)
  • 1 c
    shredded cheddar cheese

How To Make easy chicken tetrazzini

  • Cooking the spaghetti.
    1
    Cook the spaghetti noodles as directed on the package for al dente. They will cook more in the sauce, so if they are too soft they will be mushy. (Sometimes I add chicken stock to pasta water to add flavor to the spaghetti.) Drain.
  • Cooking mushrooms in butter.
    2
    While the pasta cooks, start the sauce by melting the butter in a large pan. (Or, if you're like me and hate dishes, wait until the noodles are draining and use the same pan.) Cook the mushrooms.
  • Stirring in the rest of the ingredients.
    3
    Add the remaining ingredients except cheddar cheese and stir until well combined.
  • Mixing pasta with the sauce.
    4
    Mix the pasta with the sauce.
  • Spaghetti poured into a baking dish.
    5
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pour the mixture into 9x13 dish.
  • Top spaghetti with shredded cheese.
    6
    Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Casserole dish covered with foil.
    7
    Cover and bake for 1 hour.
  • Easy Chicken Tetrazzini with bread and a salad.
    8
    Serve with crusty bread and a salad...yum yum!
