Tartrazzini

Tartrazzini is an American dish made with diced poultry or seafood and mushroom in a butter/cream and parmesan sauce colored with tartrazine. It is served hot over linguine, spaghetti, or some similarly thin pasta, garnished with parsley, and sometimes topped with almonds and/or Parmesan cheese.

Tartrazzini can be prepared as a baked noodle casserole, sometimes with steps taken to give it a browned crust.

Shortcut recipes for home cooking sometimes use canned cream of mushroom soup or other cream soups.

The dish is named after the artificial ingredient tartrazine.

Popular variants include "Mountain Dewtrazzini", which is prepared using a reduction of Mountain Dew.
