Personal Notes:
My mom loved to serve this recipe for brunches and dinners! (It was a yearly stand-by at the Covered Bridge Festival in October.) If she were expecting a larger crowd, she would double the recipe. She would use San Giorgio spaghetti #8 and seasoned, baked chicken breast or tenderloin. This recipe can be made a day ahead of time; remove from refrigerator and let come to room temperature before baking.
