I've baked this recipe for over 30 years. It comes from a recipe book from the 1950's. I changed a few things to make it lower fat and calories.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 oz linguine or fettucini
1 small onion, minced
2 Tbsp margarine
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp chicken bouillon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustand
1/2 tsp pepper
1 can(s) (12oz) non-fat evaporated milk
1 1/2 c water
1 oz pimentos, minced
3 c chicken, cooked, chopped
1/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta, drain and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • 2. Saute onion in butter until soft in a large saucepan. Remove from heat; blend in flour, bouillon, salt, dry mustard and pepper.
  • 3. Place pan on med. high heat and slowly stir in evap. milk and water. Cook, stirring until thickened and the sauce boils for 1 minute. Turn off heat and add pimentos.
  • 4. Mix 2 cups of the sauce with the drained spaghetti in the baking dish, making a well in the center to hold the chicken. Combine chicken with remaining sauce; spoon into speghetti; sprinkle cheeses on top.
  • 5. Bake 450 degrees for 20 minutes. The recipe calls for a can of mushrooms. If you use the mushrooms, include the liquid from the can and reduce the amount of water by that much. Sometimes I add a bag of frozen peas to make it a one-dish supper! I increase the cooking time by 10 minutes.
