I asked for requests on Facebook and this one came from Grampa Brian Bigler. I posted this picture in my 2014 update, but it wasn't accompanied by a recipe.
Tyler hates blue cheese, and my sister Amanda as well. They both loved this. Amanda makes her own version now:)
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. of Macaroni "mini" shells
1 8oz. pkg. of mushrooms, sliced
12 oz. of sausage (I used breakfast Sausage links)
1 cup Boar's Head blue cheese crumbles
3 oz. or about 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2-2 cups of milk
2 tsp. dried parsley
salt and pepper
Directions:
Saute mushrooms and set aside. Do the same with the sausage, although it wasn't ground so you have to do that yourself, drain the excess oil and set aside. Cook your pasta in salted water, drain and then begin your sauce. Turn the heat to medium on the low side and add your milk and the mozzarella. You'll need a wire whisk for this part. Whisk the cheese until it fully melts into the Milk and no longer sticks to the whisk. Once it's fully incorporated add the blue cheese, and again whisk until its blended. At the end I add a little parsley, salt and pepper.(to taste) Mix in all the other ingredients and you're done! I have found this is a dish that should be eaten right after preparation. It still tastes great later or tomorrow, but the sauce thickens and loses it's creamy texture.
ENJOY!
