Tetrazzini

This is a fave for left over turkey but you could easily substitute cooked chicken.  In fact a rotisserie chicken would be amazing.   We love mushrooms so you can use less than I do and it would be just as great.

8 oz. cooked spaghetti
1/4 c. butter
2 Tbsp flour
2 c. chicken broth
3/4 c. half and half
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp pepper
3 c. cooked turkey or chicken
1 package sliced fresh mushrooms (8 oz)
1/2 c. shredded parmesan cheese (not grated in green package but the good stuff)

Heat over to 350 degrees.  Melt butter then stir in flour.  Add broth and stir until thickened.  Remove from heat and add half and half, salt, nutmeg, and pepper until combine.  Toss pasta, meat and mushrooms with sauce until coated.  Put into greased 9 x 13 pan and cover with cheese.  Bake about 30 - 45 minutes until bubbly and heated through.

Notes:
The quality of cheese makes all the difference in this recipe.  You could also use Romano or a combination of the two.
