Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 8 oz spaghetti or linguine pasta
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese (plant-based), shredded, divided

Sauce & Flavorings

  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • ½ teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti or linguine until just tender, about one minute less than package instructions. Drain well and set aside to avoid overcooking.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. Using the same skillet, sauté the finely diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded cooked chicken and crispy turkey bacon back into the skillet with the sauce. Mix in half of the shredded plant-based cheese (plant-based), reserving the rest for topping. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Bake the Tetrazzini: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining plant-based cheese (plant-based) evenly over the top. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for brightness. Let the dish rest for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Cook the pasta one minute less than package directions to prevent mushiness when baked.
  • Use fresh garlic, onion, and parsley for the best flavor impact.
  • Do not skip the crispy smoked turkey bacon for added texture and smoky flavor.
  • Add the natural gelling agent gradually to achieve the perfect creamy sauce without stiffness.
  • Let the baked dish cool briefly before serving to help it set and slice cleanly.
