1
lb
swiss chard
chopped (one bunch)
1
cup
mushrooms

2 1/2
cups
whole milk
1/4

1

2 1/2
cup

3/4
cup

1
pound
whole grain macaroni noodles
Instructions
Cook your noodles according to the package. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
Chop your mushrooms. Heat 2 TB butter in a large stockpot
(I use this one)
. Add in the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook until tender.
Add in the chopped greens and cook a couple minutes until wilted.
Once the greens are wilted, remove the mushrooms and greens. Set aside.
In the same pot, now nicely seasoned, add in 4 TB butter. Melt the butter.
Add in ¼ cup flour. Whisk into the butter.
Once combined, add in 2½ cups whole milk, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp ground mustard. Whisk all ingredients together and cook until bubbly.
Once bubbly, turn off the burner and start adding the cheese! Slowly whisk in the cheese until melted.
Add your greens, mushrooms, and cooked pasta to the pot and stir until combined.
Pour into a 13×9 baking dish and bake at 375ºF for 20-25 minutes until bubbly.
