MUSHROOM MACARONI AND CHEESE



Mushroom Macaroni and Cheese image

This mushroom macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food dish.

Provided by April @ Girl Gone Gourmet

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound cavatappi pasta
4 slices thick-cut bacon
16 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 cup dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups 2% milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
16 ounces gruyere cheese, grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta for approximately half the time as indicated on the box. Drain and return to the pot.
  • In a large pan, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until it's crispy and has released its fat. Remove the bacon, leaving the fat in the pan, and set aside. Adjust the heat to medium and add the mushrooms to the pan and stir them around to coat them in the bacon fat. Season them with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook them for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are nicely golden brown and have released their moisture. Add the wine to the hot pan and, using a spatula or wooden spoon, scrape up all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook off and then transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until there are no lumps. Add the milk and cream, whisking continuously, and warm it slowly without letting it boil (lower the heat if necessary). Once the milk and cream are warmed through and the sauce has started to thicken, add the cheese (reserve 1 cup of cheese for the topping) and stir well until it's completely melted into the sauce. Add the mushrooms and stir to combine.
  • Add the pasta to the mushrooms and cheese sauce either by transferring the pasta from the pot to the skillet or, in case your skillet isn't big enough to hold all the pasta, transfer the sauce to the pot with the pasta. Stir to coat the pasta in the sauce. Transfer the pasta and cheese sauce to a baking dish.
  • Chop the crispy bacon and scatter it over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle the remaining one cup of cheese over the top. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes. Garnish with the fresh parsley and serve.

MUSHROOM MAC AND CHEESE

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt
1 pound penne pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
10 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, trumpet or buttons, sliced or torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups sliced)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 large or 2 small shallots, minced
1 teaspoon white truffle oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere (about 5 ounces)
1 cup shredded Italian fontina (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil, for drizzling
2 teaspoons white truffle oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • For the topping: Mix the panko, Parmesan, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta for 10 minutes (it should still be firm as it will continue to cook in the sauce). Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta-cooking water.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat a 3 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, mushrooms, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown. Remove the cooked mushrooms to a plate and drizzle with the truffle oil.
  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Reduce the heat to medium under the Dutch oven. Add the butter and flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a paste. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Bring this mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally to prevent sticking on the bottom. Simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in the gruyere, fontina and Parmesan and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Add the pasta, reserved pasta water, cooked mushroom mixture, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper to the cheese sauce and fold everything together. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and drizzle with the olive oil and truffle oil. Broil until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, about 8 minutes.
  • Allow the mac and cheese to sit for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

WILD MUSHROOM MAC 'N' CHEESE



Wild mushroom mac 'n' cheese image

Give mac 'n' cheese a mushroom makeover for a freeze-ahead family meal. Using dried wild mushrooms means you don't have to wait until they're in season

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4-5

Number Of Ingredients 11

25g dried mushrooms (mixed dried mushrooms or porcini are good)
75g butter
200g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
50g plain flour
500ml whole milk
1 tsp English mustard powder or English mustard
350g macaroni or other short pasta
grating of nutmeg
150g extra mature cheddar, grated
50g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, grated
25g panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Steps:

  • Tip the dried mushrooms into a heatproof bowl, pour over hot water from the kettle until just covered, then set aside to soak until cool. Meanwhile, heat about a third of the butter in a frying pan until sizzling and scatter in the chestnut mushrooms. Season and fry for 4-5 mins over a high heat until soft and cooked through. Set aside. When the dried mushrooms are cool, drain over a bowl to catch the soaking juices, pressing to squeeze out all the liquid, then roughly chop.
  • Heat all but about ½ tsp of the remaining butter in a large saucepan over a high heat until sizzling, then add the rehydrated mushrooms and fry for 2-3 mins until well browned. Scatter over the flour and stir together to make a sandy paste. Cook for 2 mins, then gradually pour in the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, leaving any sediment in the bottom of the bowl. Simmer until thickened, then gradually stir or whisk in the milk until completely incorporated into a sauce. Add the mustard powder or mustard and season to taste with a grating of nutmeg and some salt and pepper. Leave the sauce to cook gently on a low-medium heat. Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 mins less than stated on the packet.
  • When the macaroni is ready, drain well and tip back into the saucepan. Pour over the mushroom sauce, tip in the fried chestnut mushrooms, all the cheddar and half the parmesan, then vigorously stir everything together until fully combined. Use the last of the butter to butter a casserole dish, then scrape in the macaroni and mushroom mix. Scatter with the remaining parmesan and the breadcrumbs, if using. Will keep covered and chilled for up to two days or in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost fully in the fridge before baking.
  • When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and bubbling. Leave to stand for a few minutes, then bring to the table and serve straight from the dish.

Provided by Stuart Faber

Categories     Mushroom     Pasta     Side     Bake     Cheddar     Bacon     Winter     Bon Appétit     Los Angeles     California

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound small elbow macaroni (about 4 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3/4 pound mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 cups (packed) grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, mustard, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and parsley; stir until cheese melts. Mix in pasta.
  • Sauté bacon in medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Mix half of bacon into pasta and transfer to prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining bacon.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs; sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over pasta. Bake until pasta is heated through and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right cheese is crucial for achieving the best flavor. A combination of Gruyère and Swiss cheese provides a rich, nutty, and creamy texture that complements the earthy mushrooms and macaroni perfectly.
  • Freshly grated cheese is always preferred over pre-packaged shredded cheese. It melts more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a more flavorful and creamy sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. Give them enough space to brown and release their liquid, which will intensify their flavor.
  • Season the dish generously with salt and pepper. This simple step enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients and brings the dish together.
  • For a crispy and flavorful topping, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. The panko adds a satisfying crunch, while the Parmesan adds a salty and nutty flavor.

Conclusion:

The Mushroom Swiss Mac and Cheese is a delightful and comforting dish that combines the richness of cheese, the earthiness of mushrooms, and the satisfying texture of macaroni. By following the tips mentioned above, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
