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.

Ingredients

1 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (I prefer fresh, but you can use canned)
2 jars 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 cups cooked chicken
1 jar pimentos (4 oz)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

How To Make easy chicken tetrazzini

Step 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.

Step 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.
Step 3

Add the remaining ingredients except cheddar cheese and stir until well combined.
Step 4

Mix the pasta with the sauce.
Step 5

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pour the mixture into 9x13 dish.
Step 6

Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7

Cover and bake for 1 hour.
Step 8

Serve with crusty bread and a salad...yum yum!
