Chicken Tetrazzini

Chicken Tetrazzini

"Chicken Tetrazzini is a baked pasta casserole made with chopped rotisserie chicken, cream sauce and pasta. It’s classic comfort food at its best! Chicken Tetrazzini falls into that unique category of Italian-American dishes. If you look up ‘tetrazzini’ in an Italian dictionary, you aren’t going to find anything. Similarly, I suspect you won’t find Chicken Tetrazzini on many menus in Italy. Instead, this dish is American in origin, although it does use many of the same ingredients as you find in Italian cooking. Chicken Tetrazzini is a casserole-style pasta dish that features spaghetti in a cream sauce. The dish often includes shredded chicken, although it is a popular way to use leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. (I personally love Thanksgiving leftovers, although I wouldn’t be sad about Turkey Tetrazzini showing up in my kitchen!)"
