Mushroom Macaroni

Our dinner last night was mushroom macaroni! It was our own creation, as we discovered from one of my many books that people made macaroni cheese during the war and as we were low on cheese, we adapted it. The recipe below is for 2 people, just double for 4.

Ingredients:
200g Macaroni
1/4 of a medium sized Onion
Handful of sliced button Mushrooms
25g Flour
25g Margarine
1/4 pint of Milk

Method:
Boil the macaroni in a pan until cooked. Meanwhile cook the mushrooms and onion in a frying pan until browned slightly. Then in a separate pan melt the margarine, add the flour and stir into a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a thickish sauce. Add the onion and mushroom and cook for a further minute or two. Add the macaroni to the sauce, mix thoroughly so that all the pasta is coated. Then transfer to a casserole dish and sprinkle a little cheese on top before grilling. Remove the dish once the cheese has bubbled and browned. Serve with a side salad.
