Ingredients

16 ounces linguine pasta or spaghetti
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced, or sliced button mushrooms
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley plus more for garnish
3 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken breast
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 4 ounces

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Break the noodles in half and add them to the pot. Cook according to package directions for al dente and then rinse in cold water; drain.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350° F.
Heat a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat. Add the butter to the pot and once it has melted add the mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
Add the garlic and flour and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Stir in the milk, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until just slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. (The sauce will thicken up more in the oven.)
Remove the pot from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally (this prevents the yogurt from curdling when you stir it in). Then stir in the plain Greek yogurt, parsley, cooked chicken and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
Stir in the cooked pasta. Transfer the mixture to a 13x9-inch baking dish and spread it out into an even layer. Sprinkle on the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Notes

Chopped cooked turkey can be substituted for the cooked chicken.
