Ingredients

6 servings

For the pasta

12 oz spaghetti

For the chicken

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Chef's tip
Choose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes.
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt

For the sauce

4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
1 cup whole milk
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp salt
½ cup frozen peas
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

For the topping

½ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until just shy of al dente — tender but with a firm, chalky center — about 1 minute less than the package directions. Drain in a colander and set aside.
