Cooking Instructions for making Creamy Mushroom & Pasta Bake
Clean the Mushrooms and slice them thickly. Prepare other ingredients.
Cook Pasta in boiling salted water according to the instruction on the package. Drain when cooked.
Preheat oven to 200℃.
Heat Oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook Onion and Garlic for a few minutes. Add Mushrooms and Thyme, and cook until Mushrooms are cooked.
Make a room on the pan, melt Butter in the space, add Flour to mix with the melted Butter. Then add Stock and stir well.
Add Sour Cream and mix well. Season with Salt and Pepper. The amount of Salt depends on the saltiness of the Stock and Butter you use. *Note: Today I added 1/2 teaspoon Salt.
Combine the Sauce and drained Pasta. Spoon into a baking dish, scatter shredded Cheese and bake for 20 minutes OR until golden.
Sprinkle with some Fresh Thyme Leaves and serve.
