<IngredientText>Chicken spaghetti has a creamy white sauce that makes it a cross between macaroni and cheese and alfredo. Not bad company, right?
This delectable dish is another one of my go-to dishes when I need to feed a crowd with not a lot of money. The creamy and decadent homemade white sauce makes it company worthy. Add a big salad and a basket of Homestyle Garlic-Herb Bread and it&apos;s a feast!

<RecipeText>Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spritz a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside. Cook the spaghetti in salted water per the package directions until al dente. Drain well. On the stove top in a medium-size pot, cook the diced onion, mushrooms and celery in a couple of drizzles of olive oil. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and are beginning to brown. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper to your taste. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove to a large mixing bowl.

In the same saucepan melt 1 stick of butter. Add the flour stirring constantly over medium-high heat. Begin to whisk in the milk. Continue to cook, stirring continuously over medium heat until the sauce comes to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add 2 tsp dry Italian seasoning, 1 tsp seasoned salt, and black pepper. Adjust salt and pepper to your taste, if needed. Remove from the heat and add 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

Add the cooked spaghetti, cooked chicken, pimentos and 2 cups of shredded cheese to the large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over and stir until combined.

Pour into the baking dish and top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Yield: 12 servings
