Mac and Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 8 oz pasta
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz. (or more!) single variety or mixed mushrooms
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta al dente according to package directions.
• Cut mushrooms or separate stems into bite size pieces. Sauté in olive oil and set aside.
• In a large saucepan melt butter and stir in flour. Cook for a couple minutes but do not brown the flour.
• Whisk in the cold milk and salt. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Remove mixture from heat, stir in cheese until well combined.
• Transfer mushrooms, cooked pasta, and cheese sauce to a three-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
