Chicken and Mushroom Pasta Bake (Spaghetti Tetrazzini) image

Jamie Oliver says - "I remember meeting a lovely old couple outside my parents' pub and when they heard I was going to Italy they told me to make sure I cooked turkey tetrazzini - I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and then, by chance, I saw a recipe for chicken tetrazzini in an old Italian cookbook and it's great - really tacky but gorgeous! Here's my version..."

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
olive oil
4 chicken thighs, boned, skinned and cut into bite-sized pieces
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely sliced
12 ounces mixed fresh mushrooms, cleaned and torn
7/8 cup white wine
1 lb dried spaghetti
2 cups heavy cream
7 ounces parmesan cheese, grated
1 sprig fresh basil, leaves picked

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Put your porcini mushrooms in a bowl and pour over just enough boiling water to cover them (approx. 2/3 cup). Put to one side to soak for a few minutes.
  • Heat a saucepan big enough to hold all the ingredients, and pour in a splash of olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and brown them gently in the oil.
  • Strain the porcini, reserving the soaking water, and add them to the pan with the garlic and fresh mushrooms. Add the wine, with the strained porcini soaking water, and turn the heat down.
  • Simmer gently until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the wine has reduced a little.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions and drain well.
  • Add the cream to the pan of chicken, then bring to the boil and turn the heat off. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the drained spaghetti to the creamy chicken sauce and toss well. Add three-quarters of the Parmesan and all of the basil and stir well.
  • Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish or non-stick pan, sprinkle with half the remaining cheese and bake in the oven until golden brown, bubbling and crisp.
  • Divide between your plates, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese before serving.

Time 1h47m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch garlic powder
1 cup pesto
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over squash and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your chicken spaghetti bake taste its best. Look for organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: The pasta should be slightly firm to the bite, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or use a meat thermometer to ensure that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes the chicken spaghetti bake. Choose a sauce that you love and that will complement the other ingredients.
  • Add plenty of cheese: Cheese is essential for a good chicken spaghetti bake. Use a combination of different cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Bake until golden brown: The chicken spaghetti bake should be baked until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the dish is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
