Method
Step 1
Start a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Cook 2 minutes shy of the package directions, then drain.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Step 3
Add the butter and oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions, tossing to coat in the butter and oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion is soft and the mushrooms have browned.
Step 4
Add the garlic to the skillet and stir, then add the salt, pepper and chopped thyme.
Step 5
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to combine. Let the flour cook out for 30 seconds, then pour in the marsala wine, stir and let reduce for 1 minute.
Step 6
Pour the chicken stock into the skillet, whisk and then bring to a simmer for 5 minutes until the broth has thickened.
Step 7
Stir in the cream, then add the shredded chicken to the sauce. Stir to combine the chicken with the sauce and remove from the heat.
Step 8
Add the cooked pasta back to the pot. Pour the chicken and sauce over the cooked pasta along with 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
Step 9
Pour into a 9" x 13" baking dish and top with the mozzarella cheese and the other 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
Step 10
Bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook another 5-7 minutes until the cheese on top is melted. Alternately you can put the casserole under the broiler to get a good brown color.
Step 11
Garnish with chopped parsley and more parmesan cheese if desired.
