  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 14 ounces diced tomatoes (drained, 1 can)

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F, grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, and set aside.
  2. Boil the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  5. Stir in the heavy whipping cream, broth, and milk. Bring the pan to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until it begins to thicken.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and stir in ½ cup of mozzarella until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Stir the spaghetti, chicken, and diced tomatoes into the pan. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the spaghetti: It should be al dente (firm to the bite).
  • Watch the pan: These ingredients burn easily, so stir constantly and simmer until thickened.
  • Freezing options: You can freeze this dish either before or after baking.
  • Use parchment paper: Line your dish with parchment paper to let it freeze solid, then transfer to a large freezer bag.
