Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

17.6 ounces farro strozzapreti, gemelli, or penne
3 ounces multigrain bread
3 1/2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage, plus 12 small leaves for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 1/2 ounces soft goat cheese
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
8 ounces portobello mushrooms, very thinly sliced (about 4 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta; cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain; set aside. Pulse bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs form (you should have 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons); set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk milk, flour, chopped sage, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking often. Add 3 ounces cheese, and cook, whisking constantly, until thick enough that whisk leaves a trail, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Lightly coat six 10-ounce gratin dishes with cooking spray. Set on a rimmed baking sheet, and space at least 1 inch apart; set aside. Toss mushrooms, pasta, and cheese mixture in a large bowl. Divide among prepared dishes. Crumble the remaining cheese over each, dividing evenly, and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
  • Cover each dish with foil. Bake until mushrooms are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake until the breadcrumbs are browned, about 7 minutes more. Transfer to wire racks; let cool 5 minutes. Garnish each gratin with 2 sage leaves.
