Baked Mushroom And Cheese Penne
Another web find -- looks yummy!! my husband is not a huge fan of marinara, so i am always on the lookout for something a little different! this looks easy enough to adapt to various types of pasta as well...
Steps
Saute the mushrooms and whole garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of the butter over a high heat.
Add salt and pepper , lower the heat and cook for about 3 minutes.
Discard the garlic.
Cook the pasta according to package directions and individual taste.
Drain , and mix with remaining 2 tbs butter.
In a large casserole dish that has been greased , add a layer of cooked penne.
Top layer of penne with about a quarter of the mushrooms and the sliced cheese and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of parmesan.
Repeat layers until you have used all the ingredients , finishing with a layer of sliced cheeses.
Pur over the cream , sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake , covered with foil , in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Bake uncovered for a further 10 minutes , or until a light crust has formed on the top.
