FRESH VEGETABLE TETRAZZINI
I found this recipe many years ago in a little booklet. I changed it up and used fresh vegetables and a homemade alfredo sauce instead of the jarred. It is really good and rather quick to put together. This is my go to dish when we need something good, fast and filling. You can add any veggies your family likes and whatever pasta...

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and grease a 3 quart rectangular dish. I use a 13x9
- 2. Cook pasta according to directions, drain and set aside. Just to al'dente stage !
- 3. Steam the broccoli and carrots till just tender. They will cook more in the casserole later !
- 4. Sautee the sliced mushrooms in a little butter until just tender and have changed color.
- 5. Set aside the veggies and start the cheese sauce. In a medium sauce pan melt the butter and stir in the flour.Slowly add the milk. Cook and stir frequently over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more and then remove from heat. Stir in the parmesan , salt and pepper.
- 6. In the prepared pan toss pasta with a half a cup of the cheese sauce. Spread pasta evenly around the pan, top with vegetables and mushrooms.Top with the 1/2 cup of grated parmesan. Pour remaining cheese sauce over the top.
- 7. Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan, panko bread crumbs and almonds. * melt 2 TBS. Butter and mix in with 1 cup of Panko crumbs. Sprinkle on top of the casserole , then sprinkle with slivered almonds.
- 8. Bake covered for 10 min. then uncover and bake 10 more. Watch the almonds, they burn easily uncovered. It should be bubbly and hot now.
- 9. I serve this as a main dish but it can just as easily be a side dish. You can also make this up a day ahead and just stick it in the oven when ready to bake. Just adjust heating time accordingly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
- Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.
VEGETABLE TETRAZZINI
A variation on a recipe I found in "1001 Lowfat Vegetarian Recipes" This recipe can be made with as much or as little garlic as you want. The amount listed is the amount I usually use. The original had no garlic, and it didn't taste right to me.
