The image shows a baked dish in a white rectangular casserole dish with a golden-brown crust on top. The top layer is made of melted cheese and breadcrumbs, with a crispy, slightly bubbly texture and some small browned spots. Fresh green chopped herbs are sprinkled across the surface, adding color contrast. Beneath the crust, there are visible layers of creamy white sauce mixed with soft, cooked mushrooms and pieces of pasta, all topped by the browned, crunchy top. The dish is placed on a wooden board on a white marbled surface, with some out-of-focus vegetables like cherry tomatoes and mushrooms in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 ounces white mushrooms
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh parsley
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add quartered white mushrooms seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for 7–9 minutes until the moisture evaporates.
Step 3: Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4: Stir in the cream cheese until all mushrooms are coated. Remove from heat and fold in mozzarella, half of the bread crumbs, and half of the Parmesan.
Step 5: Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 6: In a small bowl, combine the remaining bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and melted butter.
Step 7: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the mushroom mixture.
Step 8: Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
Step 9: Optional: Garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use panko bread crumbs instead of regular for extra crunch.
Swap mozzarella for cheddar or Gruyere for a different cheesy flavor.
Add cooked sausage or spinach to the mixture for added heartiness.
Make ahead by preparing the casserole and refrigerating before baking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to retain the crispy topping.
