Ingredients
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled, whole
  • 4 Tbl butter
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 - 3 cups ziti, uncooked
  • 3 oz Bel Paese cheese, thinly sliced or cubed
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream or half and half

Directions
  1. Saute the mushrooms with the whole garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of the butter over a high heat. Add salt and pepper, lower the heat and cook for 3 minutes. Discard the garlic.
  2. Cook and drain the pasta. Dress with the remaining butter. Butter an ovenproof dish and cover the bottom with a layer of ziti.
  3. Place about a quarter of the mushrooms and the sliced cheese evenly over the pasta and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan.
  4. Add another layer of pasta and cover with mushrooms and cheese as before. Repeat until you have used all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of sliced cheeses.
  5. Pour over the cream, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake, covered with foil, in a preheated oven at 400 F. for 10 minutes.
  6. Bake uncovered another 10 minutes, or until a light crust has formed on the top. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
