Ingredients
Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Put dry Porcini mushrooms in bowl and add boiling water to just cover. Set aside and soak for a few minutes.
Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces removing any visible fat.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan, big enough to hold all the ingredients, over medium high heat. Brown chicken pieces on both sides and season with salt and pepper.
Add the mushrooms with the soaking water to the pan along with the minced fresh garlic, sliced mushrooms and wine. Turn down the heat. Simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and the liquid has reduced by one-third (about 20 minutes).
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in unsalted boiling water according to package cooking time. Drain well.
Add canned milk to the pan and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and season with freshly minced basil. Add the drained spaghetti to the creamy chicken sauce and toss well.
Transfer to a 23 x 33 cm (9×13”) ovenproof baking dish and sprinkle with the freshly grated parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes in the oven until bubbly and golden brown.
To serve, divide among four plates and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Helpful Tip
Porcini are a woodland mushroom known as the king of mushrooms in Italian cooking. They have a fine flavour and meaty texture. Use in small amounts to enhance the flavour of cultivated mushrooms.
