Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (16-oz) pkg fettuccine pasta
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 stalk(s) celery, diced
2 clove garlic, minced
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen, both are ok)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups light whipping cream (or milk)
3/4 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese (the canned grated parmesan is ok, too)
2 1/2 cups cooked turkey, diced or shredded (i usually increase it to about 3 cups)
1 to 2 tsp salt
1 to 2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 Tbsp butter, melted

  • 2. Cook pasta according to package directions, then drain well. Set cooked pasta aside.
  • 3. While pasta is cooking, prepare the cream sauce by melting the 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan. Add onion, celery and garlic, and sauté about 5 or 6 minutes, or until onions are soft. Add mushrooms and peas, and cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • 4. Add flour, broth and cream (or milk) to saucepan, and stir well. Stir Parmesan cheese, cooked turkey, salt and pepper into the cream sauce.
  • 5. Combine pasta with the cream sauce. Transfer creamy pasta to the baking dish in an even layer. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top, then drizzle the 2 Tbsp melted butter on the breadcrumbs.
  • 6. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the turkey is heated through and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.
