I made this as close to the posted recipe as possible. I was forced to make several changes because of what I had on hand, and family preferences/tastes.<br/><br/>My first change was I used 7 ounces of spaghetti (thats all that was in the previously opened box).<br/>My second change was using 3 cups of cooked, cubed chicken breast (that was left over from a roasted chicken that wasn't finished).<br/>My third change was substituting 2 Tb of dry white wine because I was out of Sherry.<br/>The family preference caused me to add 2 pinches of ground nutmeg, because our family has always made Tetrazzini with a bit of nutmeg.<br/><br/>The flavor was good as was the texture (not too soupy, not too dry). I love that it is cooked stove top and I didn't have to turn on the oven. The only complaint, other than the lack of nutmeg (which I had to add after cooking) was that there was "too much spaghetti, and not enough chicken and peas."<br/><br/>Next time, and there will be a next time, I will either cut the amount of spaghetti to about 5 to 6 ounces (instead of 8); OR double the amount of turkey/chicken and peas.<br/><br/>Thanks for posting the recipe, mydesigirl.
