While working at an American yeshiva in Israel, I had to be creative while following the kitchen’s rule of serving pasta every single day! We came up with this recipe so the boys wouldn’t get bored of the same old macaroni and cheese.

Directions

1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter.

3. Fry onions in butter until soft and translucent.

4. Add minced garlic and mushrooms, and cook until soft.

5. Add cream and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

6. While mixing, slowly add cheese and continue mixing until sauce thickens.

7. Pour sauce over noodles and mix to fully combine. Serve immediately.

Tips: In step 6, adjust the quantity of cheese and cream to thicken or thin the sauce, as desired.

Notes: You can substitute grated hard cheese for the mozzarella.
