Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

9 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces linguine
3/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup dried Italian-style breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
  • Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 pound baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 large shallot, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, 2 minced and 2 finely grated
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups heavy cream
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup panko
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
1/4 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the shallots, minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the wine and bring to a boil, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until reduced completely, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted, then sprinkle in the flour and stir until well combined with the vegetables. Slowly pour in the cream, then add the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened and no longer has a floury taste, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the pasta and cheese and toss until pasta is well coated. Transfer to a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • Meanwhile, microwave the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Stir 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the panko in a small bowl; set aside. Toss the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter with the shrimp, grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Scatter the shrimp evenly over top of the pasta, then sprinkle with the panko mixture.
  • Bake until the shrimp are opaque throughout and the topping is slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before sprinkling with the parsley.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup green onion, sliced
1/2 cup butter
5 tablespoons flour
3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups fish stock
1/2 cup chablis or 1/2 cup other dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 lbs shrimp, chicken or 2 1/2 lbs turkey
1/2 lb mushroom
1/2 lb vermicelli, spaghetti or 1/2 lb linguine
paprika

Steps:

  • Using a two-quart saucepan, saute onion in 1/4 C of butter until soft. Mix in flour and gradually blend in broth, wine and cream. Cook with stirring for about 3 minutes after sauce begins to simmer. Stir in 1/4 C of the cheese. Remove from heat and set aside. Melt remaining butter in a large saucepan and saute garlic and shrimp/chicken/turkey until cooked through. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until mushrooms are softened and brown. Combine with onion sauce. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions. Toss with shrimp/chicken/turkey and pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese and paprika. Bake 15 minutes. Broil top until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh chicken, shrimp, or turkey and use a flavorful cheese blend.
  • Cook the pasta al dente so that it has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcook the chicken, shrimp, or turkey. They should be cooked through but still tender and juicy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. If it's too thin, add more flour or cornstarch.
  • Top the tetrazzini with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the tetrazzini immediately or let it cool slightly before serving. It can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.
