 I got this recipe from a friend in high school. It was lying around in one of my cookbooks so I fixed it one night for my husband. It has quickly become one of his favorites. It is a creamy chicken pasta with a cheese and breadcrumb topping.

Ingredients:

• 0.25    cup    Onions, chopped
• 2    Tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/4    cup milk
• 10.5    ounces cream of chicken soup
• 1 1/2    cups chicken (or Turkey), cooked & cubed
• 4    ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8    ounces pasta, any variety, cooked
• 1/8    cup buttered bread crumbs

Directions:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Brown onion in butter. Stir in soup, chicken, milk, and 3/4 cups cheese; heat until cheese melts. Blend sauce with cooked noodles; pour into buttered baking dish. Mix the remaining cheese and bread crumbs and place on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot. 

Servings: 4-6
