Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2 In a large pot, bring 4 – 6 quarts of water to a boil. Add salt to taste (about
1 tsp). Add spaghetti noodles to pot, and stir gently. Return to a boil, and
cook pasta as directed using minimum cooking time (about 7 minutes).
3 Before draining noodles, reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid*. Drain noodles over a
colander in the sink.
4 While the pasta is cooking, add 2 tbsp butter and mushrooms to a large skillet.
Cook for about 6-8 minutes until mushrooms are tender and browned. Remove
mushrooms from skillet, and set aside.
5 To the same skillet, add the flour and the remaining 4 tbsp of butter. While
whisking, cook the flour for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add the
chicken bouillon, about 1/2 tsp salt, about 1/2 tsp of black pepper, 2 cups
reserved pasta water. Bring mixture to a simmer (about 2-3 minutes). Remove
skillet from heat, and add the heavy cream and cooking sherry. Whisk to combine.
6 To a 9" x 13" baking dish, add the drained pasta, the cooked mushrooms, and the
turkey or chicken. Sprinkle with a 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Pour the
sauce on top of the pasta, and stir gently to combine. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup
of the Parmesan cheese on top of the noodles.
7 Bake for 25-30 minutes until the sauce has thickened, and the cheese starts to
brown.
8 Remove baking dish from the oven, and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan
cheese on top of the tetrazzini and serve!
