If using fresh onions and peppers saute them in a little butter until soft. Break the spaghetti into 2-inch pieces and cook until tender in boiling, salted water. Drain and set aside. Mix the soup, RoTel, and cream cheese in a microwave safe dish. Heat, stirring every minute, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in 2 cups of the cheese. Stir until smooth. You may need to add some milk or cream to thin it down if it seems too thick. Stir the cooked chicken into the cheese mixture. Stir the pasta, onions and peppers into the chicken and cheese mixture. Spoon into a greased 13x9-inch casserole dish. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese. You may stop here, cover with plastic wrap then aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate a day or two until ready to bake. Bake at 350F 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven. Let stand for about 5 minutes for the cheese to settle then serve hot.
