Directions

• It may sound funny, but ran into quite a few people that do not realize the first step in making a pasta dish is, you need to boil the water first. Once the water is boiling, add pasta and cook it to what the box says. Every pasta is cook a little different as far as the cooking time and how you like it some like al denti, others like it soft. After it done cooking, drain the pasta and set it aside.
• Now, on to the sauce. Melt the butter in a pan with the garlic. What this is doing, not only is it sauteing the garlic, but adding flavor to the butter.
• Next, add the mushrooms, and let them saute for a few minutes. After that add the flour. Make sure you mix the flour in real good. There should be no loose flour in the pan, that includes on the mushrooms. If you there is the food get that yucky raw flour taste.
• Time to add the milk and half and half to the sauce, once you have the flour stirred into the butter.
• You want to stir in the spices. Turn your heat down and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, make sure you stir constantly. You will notice it is getting thicker as you do stir it. Then you want to add the cheese and stir it in until it is melted.
• Add your pasta and serve up this dish.
