really loved this Pebbles! though I did make some changes... using other recipes as a guide. used thin spaghetti broken in thirds, added a red onion, diced, chopped orange bell pepper and 3 minced garlic cloves to the mushrooms while cooking. also added 4 chopped green onions and cooked all the veggies in olive oil instead of butter. took the pan off the heat and sprinkled all the cooked veggies with flour, mixing it in before adding the liquid to avoid clumps. Doubled the flour, chicken broth and sherry to accommodate for the extra ingredients. Used thyme and nutmeg in place of the tarragon and parsley, and topped the casserole with grated Parmesan, leaving off the bread crumbs. It was sooo delicious, and great leftover! Thanks a bunch for a versatile, wonderful dinner!
