Ingredients
- 1 pound Spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 ounces button mushrooms cut into quarters or thick slices
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 360 degrees F. pan. Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package directions al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, add the oil to a large skillet placed over high heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the mushrooms until they begin to brown and start losing liquid, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with salt. (see note)
- Add the garlic and the chicken to the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is mostly cooked. (If you want the sauce to be even thicker, sprinkle 2 heaping tablespoons of flour onto the chicken and mushrooms and stir thoroughly before adding in the liquids.)
- Pour in the heavy cream and milk and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup of parmesan cheese and cook on medium-high heat until the sauce begins to thicken, around 3-4 minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the cooked spaghetti.
- Transfer everything to a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and mozzarella.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and starts to brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes
- If you want to kick it up a notch, deglaze the mushrooms and chicken with 1/3 cup of white wine. You can even add some dried porcini powder to the sauce.
