Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces spaghetti, break the noodles in half
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 cup low-fat milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, add the spaghetti, and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
