CHICKEN TETRAZZINI (CREAMY CHICKEN MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE)
Recipe video above. A big, creamy pasta bake with juicy chicken and mushrooms. Cheesy, hot and completely delicioius! Rumoured to be named after an Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini when an American Chef created this dish for her. So it's not authentic Italian - but it doesn't make this any less delicious!!

Steps:
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken, sprinkle with pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 1 1/2 minutes until golden.
- Turn chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute until golden then remove onto plate - doesn't need to be fully cooked (will cook more in oven).
- Rest 5 minutes, then chop into small pieces, or shred.
- Preheat oven to 160°C / 325°F.
- Cook mushrooms: Melt 4 tbsp butter over high heat in the same pot. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until starting to go floppy but not yet golden.
- Add onion: Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until mushrooms are golden. Add a pinch of salt and pepper halfway through.
- Add flour & milk: Turn heat down to medium. Add flour. Stir for 30 seconds. Add milk and stir for 10 seconds or until it thickens (see video at 52 sec).
- Add cream and broth: Add chicken stock, cream, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir, then let the mixture heat up, stirring every now and then so it doesn't catch on the base, and cook until the sauce thickens enough so you can draw a path on the back of the spoon (video at 1.04). Do not make it very thick - it gets thicker in next steps.
- Add cheese & pasta: Turn stove off. Stir through half the cheese (will melt in oven), then add pasta and chicken. Toss to mix, taste and add more salt if needed.
- Bake: Pour into 23 x 33cm / 9 x 13" pan, smooth surface. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately!

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE (SPAGHETTI TETRAZZINI)
Jamie Oliver says - "I remember meeting a lovely old couple outside my parents' pub and when they heard I was going to Italy they told me to make sure I cooked turkey tetrazzini - I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and then, by chance, I saw a recipe for chicken tetrazzini in an old Italian cookbook and it's great - really tacky but gorgeous! Here's my version..."

- Simmer gently until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the wine has reduced a little.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions and drain well.
- Add the cream to the pan of chicken, then bring to the boil and turn the heat off. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the creamy chicken sauce and toss well. Add three-quarters of the Parmesan and all of the basil and stir well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pasta bake even more delicious. Look for organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the bake.
- Use a variety of mushrooms: Different types of mushrooms will give your pasta bake a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- Don't be afraid to add other vegetables: Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or zucchini can add extra flavor and nutrition to your pasta bake.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the pasta bake together. Use a sauce that you enjoy and that complements the other ingredients in the dish.
- Top the pasta bake with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for pasta bakes. It adds a rich, cheesy flavor and helps to brown the top of the dish.
- Bake the pasta bake until it's bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the pasta is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Chicken and mushroom pasta bake is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a pasta bake that's sure to please everyone at the table.
