Mushroom Pasta Gratin image

This recipe comes from the wonderful book "Mon premier dîner végétarien" by Alice Hart, which I was gifted for my bday a couple of weeks ago. It makes for a rich, yet not overly heavy pasta gratin that is perfect for entertaining or just for indulging by yourself. :) I made a few modifications from the original recipe and this was the result. I hope youll like it as much as we do. If you like, try other vegetables or herbs and spices to vary this according to your taste.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
300 g brown button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (or mixed mushrooms)
1 onion, chopped (half of it comes from the bechamel sauce if using my recipe)
1 garlic clove, sliced
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
250 g penne pasta, cooked according to package directions (whole wheat is fine)
1 mozzarella cheese, ball cubed (low-fat works fine)
3 tablespoons camembert cheese, cubed (low-fat works fine)
500 ml bechamel sauce (recommended Basic Béchamel Sauce With Lots of Flavour)
5 tablespoons cheese, grated (I used a mix of 4 cheeses, use your favourite)

Steps:

  • In a frying pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, onion and garlic. Fry until slightly browned. Add sage, rosemary, black pepper and chilli powder. Set aside.
  • In your baking dish (it should hold about 1.5 l/6 cups) combine mushroom mixture, pasta, mozzarella and camembert.
  • Pour the béchamel sauce over it and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned on top and sauce is bubbling.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I actually enjoyed this dish. The cheese and pasta helped to balance out the flavor of the mushrooms.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler dishes in the future.
