This chicken spaghetti is brimming with flavor. Three kinds of condensed soup are used in this recipe, but you can use about 3 cups of white sauce and a can of diced tomatoes if you prefer homemade over processed food.
Feel free to add your own personal touch. You might use roasted red peppers or minced red bell peppers instead of the pimientos or add some cheese or sautéed mushrooms to the casserole. The tomato soup can also be replaced with diced canned tomatoes or tomatoes with chopped green chile peppers.
