    Heat oven to 350 degrees.
    Boil Water, add spaghetti, and cook according to package instructions.
    In a dutch oven, cook mushrooms until tender. Stir in flour. Cook until it starts to turn light brown. Add chicken broth/stock, cook stirring constantly until sauce is thickened.
    Remove from heat. Stir in cream, parsley, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Fold in chicken and cooked spaghetti.
    Turn mixture into a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle extra cheese over top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
