"This is a great, hearty white sauce to pour over a thick pasta, e.g. radiatore, mostaccioli, rotini, etc."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups milk
• 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 6 ounces canned mushrooms
• 5 garlic cloves, pressed
• 8 ounces pasta, boiled

directions

1. Stir butter, flour and milk over low heat until sauce thickens--be careful not to scorch it. Add cheese and continue to stir in sauce so cheese melts.
2. Meanwhile, sautee' mushrooms in additional butter with garlic.
3. After cheese has melted in sauce, add mushrooms. Pour over pasta.
4. Note: I've found with this recipe that there's no such thing as "too much" garlic. The flavor is really absorbed by the mushrooms. I typically use 6-8 cloves.
