Made for PAC- Fall 09 It was really easy to bring together (husband who isn't much of a cook made it), and there would only be a couple of things I'd change. I would add a little garlic to pump up the flavours, and also use a more dense pasta, such as penne. I found that the spaghetti was mushy by the time it was ready to eat. I'll be making it again. It was easy and there were lots of leftovers for lunches.

I really like this dish. I added a little garlic and I sort of cheated because I just bought skinless chicken breast and cooked it. This is a really nice and different take on spaghetti. Thanks for sharing.

Fine comfort food. I added 1/4 cup white wine with the chicken stock to up the flavour a bit but it still needs a little more spicing up for my taste. One of the children particularly enjoyed it and said it tasted like chicken noodle soup. Made for ZWT3.

Delish!! I used a rotissorie chicken which made this a snap to prepare. The directions didn't specify, so I added the mushroom mixture in step 4. DH raved throughout dinner how good this was. One, it was very good, two, I think he was ready for some good old comfort food at this stage of the ZWT, lol. Thanks DinnerDiva in OK for a good dinner tonight!
