How to Make Baked Pasta With White Mushroom Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, 2 spring onions (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add 8 ounces of sliced white mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 4 ounces of diced ham or Italian sausage (cooked and crumbled). Simmer for 2 minutes. Lightly brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  5. Spread half of the mushroom sauce in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the cooked ham or sausage.
  6. Layer 3 cups of cooked pasta (any short pasta shape works well) over the ham/sausage. Pour the remaining mushroom sauce over the pasta.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter in small pieces over the top layer.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
