DIRECTIONS
1. | If the chicken and green peppers are frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator. Drain the green peppers thoroughly on the day of assembly. CCP: Hold under refrigeration (41 degrees F or lower). |
2. | Boil the water and salt in a steam-jacketed kettle or stock pot. |
3. | Break spaghetti noodles in half and add them to the boiling water. Then reduce the heat, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes - the pasta will NOT be al dente. Pasta prepared for casseroles is undercooked and will continue to cook to al dente during baking. Pasta may also be cooked in a steamer or combi oven. Different steamers and combi ovens vary in time and settings, so check with the manufacturer for correct instructions. Pasta amount is based on USDA Food Buying Guide. Overcooking or hot holding pasta for long periods of time will increase the volume and the yield. |
4. | Spray steam-jacketed kettle or large saucepan with pan release spray. |
5. | Spray a braising pan or steam-jacketed kettle with pan release spray, then add the onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté or steam the vegetable mix, stirring frequently until they are tender. |
6. | Add the milk, cream of chicken soup, salt, dry mustard, white pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and pimentos. Stir the mixture until it is well blended. Cook for 3 minutes or until it is heated thoroughly. |
7. | In each steamtable pan (12" x 20" x 2½"), combine 3 pounds and 12 ounces (3 quarts) of cooked spaghetti, 3 pounds and 2 ounces (3 quarts) of cooked diced chicken, 3 quarts and 1 cup of cooked vegetables/sauce mixture. Mix all of the ingredients together. For 100 servings, use 4 steamtable pans. |
8. | To bake: Bake until the top is golden brown. CCP: Heat to 165 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. |
9. | Sprinkle 3 ounces of American Cheese and 3 ounces of Mozzarella Cheese on top of each pan. Allow the cheese to melt before serving. |
10. | Cut each full-size steamtable pan 5 x 5 to portion 25 servings per pan. Serve immediately or cover and place them in a warmer until ready for service |
11. | Portion one square per serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. of meat/meat alternate, 1 oz. eq. of enriched grain, and ¼ cup of other vegetable. CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. |
