Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream

  • 4 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 3 (4 ounce) cans mushroom stems and pieces, drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimentos, drained

Directions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add the broth, half-and-half and whipping cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chicken, mushrooms and pimientos. Drain spaghetti; add to the chicken mixture and toss to coat.
