Ingredients:
1 (7-ounce) package spaghetti |
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie stick margarine |
1 cup presliced fresh mushrooms |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 cup chopped green bell pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/4 cups 1% low-fat milk |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, divided |
1 1/2 cups skinned, shredded roasted chicken breast (about 5 ounces) |
3/4 cup finely chopped extra-lean ham (about 1/4 pound) |
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided |
1/4 cup dry sherry |
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can reduced-fat, reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted |
1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimento, drained |
vegetable cooking spray |
1 teaspoon paprika |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain well. Rinse under cold running water; drain well, and set aside.
2. Melt the margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and next 3 ingredients, and sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, poultry seasoning, and pepper; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, and cook 1 1/2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, stirring until cheese melts. Add chicken, ham, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, and next 3 ingredients; stir well.
3. Combine the spaghetti and chicken mixture in a large bowl; stir well. Spoon mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
4. Combine remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and paprika, and stir well. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese mixture, remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and almonds in alternating diagonal rows across top of casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
5. Make-Ahead Tips: You can assemble the casserole up to 4 hours ahead of time, omitting the cheese-and-almond topping; cover and chill. Add topping just before baking.
