Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Prepare egg noodles according to package directions; drain well and set aside.
  3. While noodles are cooking, melt margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in milk, water, and crumbled bouillon cubes until smooth.
  6. Add black pepper and cayenne pepper to the sauce.
  7. Cook sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 10 minutes.
  8. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in thawed peas, yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
  9. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, sliced mushrooms, diced chicken, and the prepared sauce.
  10. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 9x12-inch baking dish.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the top.
