Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook spaghetti according to package directions, drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp melted butter and set aside.
Step 3
Heat 4 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden, about 4 minutes. Add shallot and garlic, cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
Step 5
Gradually whisk in milk, chicken broth, and wine, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Step 6
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth. Fold in shredded chicken and peas.
Step 7
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine cooked spaghetti with the cream sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Top with panko breadcrumb mixture, spreading evenly across the surface.
Step 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
