White Baked Pasta with Mushrooms and Provola


White baked pasta with mushrooms and provola is a rich and creamy main course, ideal for the autumn season but perfect all year round.

In this recipe, you can use fresh mushrooms like champignons, porcini, or mixed, but frozen ones are also fine, practical, and always available.

With the velvety béchamel sauce and the melting smoked provola, the result will be a gratinated dish with an irresistible aroma, easy to prepare and suitable for family lunches and dinners.

I must say, our family enjoyed it because after a summer filled with ham and melon, Caprese salad, cold stuffed tomatoes, it’s gratifying to start enjoying some warm and tasty dishes again!

  • I put the high-sided saucepan on the flame with salted water and proceed to boil the pasta.

  • In the meantime, I put a drizzle of oil in a pan and as soon as it’s hot, I add the garlic and let it brown. I add the mixed mushrooms (even frozen) and let them cook for about ten minutes.

  • I adjust the salt and pepper, remove the garlic cloves, and flavor with fresh chopped parsley.

    In a bowl, I put the cooked mushrooms, the short pasta cooked al dente, the béchamel sauce, and the provola.

  • I mix well to combine the ingredients, then pour them into a lightly greased baking dish, leveling everything well.

    I sprinkle with grated cheese and bake at 392°F (200°C) for 15/20 minutes, just enough time for a tasty crust to form on the surface.

    All that’s left is to serve at the table and … Enjoy your meal and happy cooking! Annalisa
