WILD MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pan and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are brown and tender. Add the scallions and garlic and saute until tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then reserve.
• In a food processor, add the chicken stock, cream, gruyere, Parmesan, marsala, rosemary, thyme and roasted garlic, and pulse until well combined. Put the mixture in a pot over low heat and cook until the cheese is melted. Add the cream mixture to the mushrooms, season with salt and add the truffle oil.

TRUFFLED MUSHROOM AND CHEESY MACARONI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Drain and let cool, then transfer to a large bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the soup over medium heat, stirring often to prevent scorching. Whisk in the Cheddar and Swiss, followed by the truffle oil. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
• Add the celery and allspice to the bowl of macaroni, then gradually pour over the cheese sauce--you can use less or more sauce depending on how creamy you want the casserole. Season with salt and pepper and fold together.
• Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with the onions. Bake until the sides are bubbly and the interior is very hot, about 30 minutes. Serve.

• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are tender. Add the sherry and continue to saute for a few more minutes, until the sherry is absorbed. Set aside.

• Meanwhile, melt the truffle butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the white sauce is thickened and creamy. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, the pepper, and nutmeg.
• Combine the pasta, sauce, and mushrooms in a large bowl and pour them into a 10 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the crumbs over the pasta and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown. Serve hot.
