  7. Stir in 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken or turkey, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then stir in the cooked spaghetti and reserved pasta water (if needed, to adjust consistency).
  9. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
