About the chicken spaghetti recipe.
I’ve had this recipe for years – 38 to be exact. It was one of the recipes given to me at my bridal shower. I make this recipe a few times and then forget about it. Then I remember again and make it again. It’s a great dish to take to a carry-in meal or to send to someone who needs a quick meal brought into their home. Add a nice green salad with it, and you’ve got a meal.
Even though this is a spaghetti recipe, it does not have tomato or spaghetti sauce, so it’s easier on the stomach for folks who must watch their tomato intake. It does, however, have a can of tomato soup – but spread out among 12 people, it’s not heavy on the acid at all.
The recipe calls for pimientos as an option. I’ve also added a can of mushrooms to the recipe. The other evening I had three kiddos at my house for supper, and they devoured this dish. I think it will be a favorite of yours, too.
