HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN TETRAZZINI?
Tetrazzini is a pasta bake dish with diced chicken, turkey, or even shellfish in a buttery cream sauce. The famous American meal was developed by chef Ernest Arbogast in honor of the Italian opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini, who made her debut at his hotel in San Francisco in the early 1900s and went on to become a household name.

Is it possible to make Chicken Tetrazzini ahead of time?
Yes! This is a great dinner to prepare ahead of time. Prepare the casserole according to the directions, but instead of baking it, wrap it firmly in aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, take the pan out of the fridge and increase the baking time by approximately 15 minutes.
How to Freeze Chicken Tetrazzini: Prepare the dish according to the instructions in a freezer-safe casserole dish, wrap it firmly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and freeze it for up to 2 months at room temperature or frozen.
