Ingredients
 

PASTA

  • 10 oz pasta (Cooked al dente)

BÉCHAMEL SAUCE

  • 1 oz (40 g) butter
  • 1 tbsp flour (Heaping)
  • 18 oz (500 g) milk
  • 1/8 nutmeg (Dash)
  • salt, pepper (season to taste)
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste

FILLING

  • 6 oz (170 g) mushrooms (Sliced and chopped)
  • 6 oz (170 g) ham steak (dicced)
  • 4 oz (115 g) shredded cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven at 325F/160C.

PASTA

  • Cook your pasta as indicated on the packet, al dente. 6min for me.

BÉCHAMEL SAUCE

  • In a sauce pan, heat butter on medium until melted. Then add, flour.
  • Add the nutmeg, salt and pepper (season to taste), and whisk in the milk. Continue to whisk until the Béchamel thickens (10-15min)
  • Once the Béchamel is ready, pour half over your filling. Gently mix together.
  • Mix the second half with the tomato paste. Set aside, keep warm.

FILLING

  • Wash your mushrooms really well under cold water. Then, thinly slice them and chop them in smaller pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  • Dice the ham and add them to the mushrooms and shredded cheese.

ASSEMBLY

  • On your workstation, place the perforated baking sheet and the Flexipan® on top.
  • Pour your preparation by spreading gently until smooth.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 325F/160C and cover with your bonMAT™ half way so the gratin does not dry. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your gratin from 20min)
  • Once your gratin is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 5-10min. Then, Unmold, pour the tomato/Béchamel sauce on top. Serve and Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
