Macaroni Gratin With Wild Mushrooms Recipe

Directions:

1. Preheat a broiler (grill).
2. Fill a large saucepan three-fourths full with water and bring to a boil. Add the macaroni and return to a boil. Cook the macaroni until slightly tender to the bite, about 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the shallots and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.
4. Cut any large mushrooms in half. Add all the mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste to the saute pan and saute over medium heat until the mushrooms are soft and slightly browned, 4-5 minutes.
5. When the pasta is done, drain it immediately and add it to the saute pan holding the mushrooms. Add the chives and parsley and stir to mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
6. Transfer the mixture to a flameproof 9-inch gratin dish with 2-inch sides or individual gratin dishes. Sprinkle the Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
7. Place under the broiler just until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
