Tips for Making Chicken Vegetable Tetrazzini:

- **Use high-quality ingredients.** The flavor of your tetrazzini will be greatly affected by the quality of the ingredients you use. Use fresh vegetables, a flavorful chicken broth, and a good quality pasta. - **Cook the pasta al dente.** Overcooked pasta will make your tetrazzini mushy. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but taste it a few minutes before it's done to make sure it's still slightly firm. - **Don't overcook the vegetables.** Overcooked vegetables will lose their color and flavor. Cook them just until they're tender-crisp. - **Use a flavorful sauce.** The sauce is what brings all the flavors of tetrazzini together. Make sure it's flavorful and creamy. - **Don't skimp on the cheese.** Cheese is what makes tetrazzini so rich and decadent. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère. - **Serve tetrazzini hot.** Tetrazzini is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. It can be made ahead of time and reheated, but it's best when served immediately. ###
