Chicken Spaghetti

Creamy Chicken Spaghetti

I found this recipe in Ree Drummond’s The Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook.  She makes it as a casserole, and I’m not sure what I did wrong, but when I tried that with all shelf stable ingredients, the casserole ended up much too dry.  So, I tried again, only this time I treated it just like I do my regular old spaghetti recipe.  I made the noodles and sauce separately, and then spooned the sauce over the noodles.

It was perfect!  Tasted great and cut out a whole 35-45 minutes of baking time.  Plus, this way, each person can have their noodles as “saucy” as they’d like! (I like a lot more sauce than my husband does…..  :-)
