Ingredients
- 16 ounces linguine pasta or spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced, or sliced button mushrooms
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley plus more for garnish
- 3 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken breast
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 4 ounces
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Break the noodles in half and add them to the pot. Cook according to package directions for al dente and then rinse in cold water; drain.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350° F.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat. Add the butter to the pot and once it has melted add the mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
- Add the garlic and flour and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the milk, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until just slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. (The sauce will thicken up more in the oven.)
- Remove the pot from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally (this prevents the yogurt from curdling when you stir it in). Then stir in the plain Greek yogurt, parsley, cooked chicken and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
- Stir in the cooked pasta. Transfer the mixture to a 13x9-inch baking dish and spread it out into an even layer. Sprinkle on the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Notes
- Chopped cooked turkey can be substituted for the cooked chicken.
