Ingredients
- 1 large handful fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 200 g (~ 7 oz) mushrooms, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 300 g (~ 2 cups) uncooked macaroni
- 650 ml (~ 2 ½ cups) milk
- 150 g (~ 5 oz) Boursin cheese (garlic and herb cream cheese)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- Scatter the fresh spinach into a baking dish - mine measured approximately 8 x 8 inches, but slightly larger would also be fine. Top with the diced mushrooms, minced garlic, and the uncooked macaroni.
- Pour over the milk, using a fork to nestle the pasta down through the spinach, submerging it as much as possible. You can add an extra splash of water if needed, until the pasta is just about covered.
- Place the whole round of Boursin cheese on top, and sprinkle over some black pepper.
- Bake, uncovered, for around 45 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked to your liking. Halfway through cooking, you may need to poke the pasta down into the liquid again, to ensure it cooks fully. If the cheese starts to crisp up more than you like, cover the dish with a lid or some kitchen foil.
- When the cheese is crispy and the pasta is fully cooked, mix everything together thoroughly, and serve.
Notes
This recipe is best assembled just before baking, to avoid soggy pasta. Leftovers can be frozen or stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheated in the microwave.
