How to make macaroni and cheese:
Preheat oven to 350°. Cook the pasta in boiling water until just tender. Drain and reserve. Trim mushroom stems; cut stems and caps into slices. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet. Raise heat to medium, add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes or until just tender. Sprinkle with nutmeg; set aside. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan and parsley. Reserve until ready to use. Lightly grease a 2 1/2-quart ovenproof casserole. Place 1/3 of reserved mushrooms. Mix the 2 grated cheeses together; cover mushrooms with 1/3 of the cheeses. Repeat layer twice, ending with grated cheeses. Whisk together milk, eggs, paprika, cayenne and salt. Pour over casserole. Sprinkle top with breadcrumb mixture; bake for 1 hour or until top is golden and cheeses are melted and a bit bubbly.Recipe categories: Cheese, Pasta, Elbow macaroni.
