Leek and Mushroom Pasta Bake

This is really quick to make, and doesn't have to be baked (we didn't bake ours, we were too hungry to wait). It is tastier if you bake it though.


Ingredients (serves 2)
1 leek, finely chopped
5 button cup mushrooms, finely chopped
4 handfuls of pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon plain flour
milk (not sure how much, didn't measure it)
1 cup cheese, grated


Method
1. Boil the pasta in slightly salted water.
2. Fry the leeks and mushrooms in a little oil until soft.
3. Add the butter and melt it. Then add the flour and stir until it is fully incorporated.


4. Slowly add the milk while stirring until you have a creamy sauce. Then add the cheese and stir until it has completely melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.


5. Once the pasta is fully cooked, add it to the sauce and mix it all together.
6. If you're baking it, place in a suitable dish, and sprinkle some extra cheese on top and place in a preheated oven (approx 180 degrees) and bake for 20 mins until the cheese on top is golden brown.
