Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Cook the spaghetti until just below al dente; drain.

  2. Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the liquid releases, about 5 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil; cook until reduced by a third, 6 to 8 minutes.

  4. Off the heat, stir in the cream cheese, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Fold in the chicken, vegetables, Parmesan, and spaghetti.

  5. Transfer to the dish, top with panko, and bake 25 minutes until bubbly. Broil 1 to 2 minutes to brown if desired.
