Ingredients | Mince Pasta Bake Recipes Uk

1 (16 ounce) package shell pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound sliced cremini mushrooms

1 small red onion, diced

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 large head radicchio - halved, cored, and thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons minced fresh sage

¼ cup butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

3 cups grated Asiago cheese

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook shell pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until still firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook and stir until mushrooms have browned and onion is translucent, about 7 minutes. Add radicchio, garlic, and sage; cook until radicchio has wilted and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pasta.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour; cook until foaming. Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in Asiago cheese, heavy cream, 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until sauce is melted and smooth.

Pour sauce over pasta mixture; stir until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and panko.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Broil until topping is golden brown, about 1 minute.

Substitute macaroni for the shells if desired.
