You’ll love this fancy but easy broccoflower and mushroom pasta with gruyere sauce.
Are you ready for a creative gluten free pasta recipe that sounds elaborate and fancy but isn’t?
Thanks to my deliveries from Field Goods, a local company that I get a bag full of farm-fresh produce from every week, I have had to be more adventurous with cooking, which has been a lot of fun!
Have you noticed how much more often I now post Instagram photos of food?
It’s always a surprise what will be in the bag, and this week, I had this beautiful broccoflower and mushrooms that I wanted to figure out a yummy recipes for.
Mushroom Pasta With Gruyere Sauce
A broccoflower is a hybrid between a broccoli and cauliflower.
Does it look so pretty? It looks like a piece of art. Or a dinosaur.
I decided to make a pasta dish with gruyere cheese to get away from our usual tomato sauce, and I used Barilla Gluten Free penne pasta.
It’s the only pasta I know that truly tastes just like regular pasta — and I have tried about every gluten pasta that’s out there. My son and I don’t mind eating gluten free in this case because the taste is just the same.
Being gluten free isn’t always easy, but thanks to Barilla Gluten Free you don’t have to give up yummy pasta dishes. It’s made with certified gluten-free corn and rice, and non-GMO ingredients.
Gluten Free Pasta Recipe: Broccoflower Pasta With Gruyere Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 12 oz. box of Barilla Gluten Free Penne
- 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
- 1 head of broccoflower, cut into small pieces
- 2 tsp butter
- salt and pepper
Sauce
- 3 tsp of butter
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- salt and pepper
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes; don’t overcook it. Drain it and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the broccoflower, and cook for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms in 2 tsp of butter.
Take out the mushrooms or use another saucepan and melt another 3 tsp of butter in the pan. Add the milk to it and let it heat up, then add the gruyere cheese to it. Whisk everything together until the cheese melts.
Add the cooked pasta, broccoflower, and mushrooms into the cheese sauce, and toss together until all the pasta and veggies are covered.
My plan was to transfer the pasta to a baking dish, sprinkle more cheese on it, and bake it uncovered at 400 for 10-15 minutes BUT the three of us just couldn’t wait to eat this. It smelled and tasted so good!
I sprinkled a bit of freshly grated gruyere on our dishes before I served the pasta.
But if you have the time and the patience, think of baking it. I bet this dish is even yummier with baked, crunchy cheese on top!
