Ingredients:
- 5 tbsp butter, divided
- 6 tbsp flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 lb (250g) uncooked spaghetti, snapped in half
- 1/2 lb (250g) sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups diced cooked turkey
- 1 cup frozen peas, unthawed
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
How to cook:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth and cream, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick and silky, whisking constantly as you go. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the spaghetti as per package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft and have released most of their liquid. Add the wine and continue cooking for 5 minutes longer, or until most of the liquid in the pan has cooked off.
- Stir in the cream sauce, cooked turkey, peas, cooked spaghetti, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Test the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper as desired.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with the panko crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until top is golden-brown and filling is bubbling and hot. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
