SPAGHETTI TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• I remember meeting a lovely old couple outside my parents' pub and when they heard I was going to Italy they told me to make sure I cooked turkey tetrazzini. I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and then, by chance, I saw a recipe for chicken tetrazzini in an old Italian cookbook and it's great, really tacky but gorgeous! Here's my version...
• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Put your porcini mushrooms in a bowl and pour over just enough boiling water to cover them (approx. 150ml/5½fl oz). Put to one side to soak for a few minutes. Heat a saucepan big enough to hold all the ingredients, and pour in a splash of olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and brown them gently in the oil. Strain the porcini, reserving the soaking water, and add them to the pan with the garlic and fresh mushrooms. Add the wine, with the strained porcini soaking water, and turn the heat down. Simmer gently until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the wine has reduced a little.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions and drain well. Add the cream to the pan of chicken, then bring to the boil and turn the heat off. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the drained spaghetti to the creamy chicken sauce and toss well. Add three-quarters of the Parmesan and all of the basil and stir well. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish or non-stick pan, sprinkle with half the remaining cheese and bake in the oven until golden brown, bubbling and crisp. Divide between your plates, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese before serving.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CHICKEN TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake squash in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute chicken in the pan with 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 teaspoon basil until browned and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Remove squash from the oven and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Scrape insides of squash into strands with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Discard skins.
• Mix remaining olive oil, garlic, basil, dried onion, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl.
• Pour half-and-half and remaining butter into a Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Stir in soup. Add the seasoning mixture and stir. Stir in chicken.
• Ladle a bit of the sauce from the pot to cover the bottom of a baking dish. Put the spaghetti squash on top of the sauce and pour the remaining sauce and chicken on top. Stir to combine. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over it.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

TURKEY TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just shy of al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat, and add the mushrooms. Season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and have started to brown deeply, 8 to 11 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and curry powder, if using. Stir well, until the flour and the mushrooms are evenly combined and the flour is evenly moistened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the white wine, and let it come to a boil, whisking constantly. Let the wine bubble to reduce slightly, 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock, and let it come to a boil. Cook until it thickens noticeably, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the chunks of cream cheese (don't worry if the cream cheese appears curdled), then fold in the turkey, peas and the cheeses. Season generously with black pepper. Add the drained pasta and toss with tongs to combine. Taste and add salt if necessary.
• Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small bowl in the microwave, and toss it together with the panko and the almonds. Sprinkle the panko-almond mixture all over the top of the pasta, and bake until bubbly and browned on top, about 25 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will be very creamy at first but will firm up as it cools.
