Ziti With Sharp Cheddar and Mushrooms image

I got this recipe from Deborah Madison's book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. i am always looking to try new pasta recipes and then make them low carb using dreamfields pasta. unfortunately, this website always computers the carb count on traditional pastas, not low carb ones :(

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil or 3 tablespoons butter
1 celery rib, finely chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
2 leeks, white parts only, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk, warmed
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon mustard
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh breadcrumb

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a saucepan (you can use butter, but i am trying to keep things lighter).
  • Add the celery, mushrooms, leeks, and marjoram and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then quickly whisk in the milk.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and the mustard.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter or oil a 3 quart baking dish.
  • Cook the ziti in plenty of boiling salted water until barely done.
  • Drain it in a colander, then rinse under cold water.
  • Combine the pasta with the sauce and cheese, then pour it into the baking dish and cover with the bread crumbs.
  • Bake until bubbly and brown on top, approximately 25-30 minutes.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add a bit of chopped broccoli or cauliflower to the sauce for extra vegetables.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce was just kind of meh. I think I might have used the wrong type of cheese.

This was a great recipe! I used a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and it was delicious. I also added a bit of chopped spinach to the sauce, which gave it a nice pop of color and nutrients.

This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I would use less cheese and add more vegetables.
