Ingredients:
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup (family size)
- 1 block (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix (dips pack for a stronger ranch flavor)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (optional)
- 12 oz spaghetti noodles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Spaghetti:
- Cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the White Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
3. Add Shredded Chicken (Optional):
- If you’re using shredded chicken, add it to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through.
4. Combine Sauce with Spaghetti:
- Add the cooked spaghetti noodles to the saucepan with the white sauce and chicken. Toss gently to coat the spaghetti evenly with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth or pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
5. Season and Garnish:
- Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remember that the ranch seasoning mix can be salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- Garnish the white sauce spaghetti with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
6. Serve:
- Divide the creamy white sauce spaghetti among serving plates.
- Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
