How to Make Shiitake And Chicken Tetrazzini

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cook pasta: Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 pound pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain.
  3. Sauté vegetables: While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced, and 1 medium carrot, diced. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Make the sauce: In a separate saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 cup evaporated milk until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in 1/4 cup dry sherry (optional), 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, a dash of your favorite pepper sauce (e.g., Tabasco), and 2 cups cooked chicken, diced.
  7. Combine and bake: Add the cooked pasta and mushroom-carrot mixture to the sauce. Toss to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Top and bake: Sprinkle with 1/2 cup bread crumbs and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
