Brie Mac & Cheese with Mushrooms
Serves 6
1 pound package shell pasta
2 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 8-ounce wheel brie cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound mushrooms, quartered
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup Gruyère, shredded
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; add pasta and cook to al dente texture, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, using a food processor, grind bread slices into crumbs. Add the nuts and pulse until well combined. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the breadcrumb mixture and cook for about three minutes, or until the breadcrumbs begin to brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
With a grater, remove the rind from the brie. Cut cheese into 1-inch pieces.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook an additional 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
There should be a small amount of liquid and some garlic remaining in the pan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute over medium heat. Add milk, and whisk the mixture until the flour has dissolved and the liquid begins to thicken. Remove from heat and mix in cheese, stirring until melted.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese mixture and stir in the reserved mushrooms. Divide the pasta into 6 oven-safe individual-serving bowls. Top with breadcrumb mixture. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes.
