1 package Angel hair pasta
2 Cups Cubed Chicken or Turkey
1 3oz can Mushrooms
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Cook over med. heat it will make a thick paste, then add the chicken broth and cream, heat to a boil, stirring while it thickens. Then add the chicken and mushrooms. Put the pasta in a 9x13 pan and pour sauce over, mix a little and let the sauce spread through the pasta. Add the Cheese and bake at 350 for 30 min uncovered.
