Power up on proteins! Add a meat to your meal with our Protein Boost option. Beef, cheese and mushrooms go together like a horse and carriage—and in this recipe, they take you straight where you want to be. For peak pasta irresistibility, you’ll use cream and mozzarella (a favourite among melting cheeses). Sautéed mushrooms enhance the texture of the long squiggles of mafalda that make their way through the gooey goodness. Dressed with our honey-Dijon vinaigrette, a curly leaf lettuce and radish side salad delivers a blast of freshness.

Preparation
Mise en place
Thinly slice the radishes and mushrooms. Roughly chop the lettuce. Mince the garlic.
Cook the mushrooms & beef
In a large, high-sided, oven-safe pan, heat 2 tbsp butter on medium-high. Add the mushrooms and sauté, 10 to 12 min., until nicely browned. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant; season with S&P. Add the beef*; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Start the pasta
Heat the same pan on medium. Whisk the cream, 3 ¾ cups water, the spices, remaining garlic and S&P. Add the pasta; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 12 to 14 min., until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
Finish the pasta
Preheat the oven to broil. To the pan of pasta, add the mushrooms and beef; stir well. Top with the cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil, 2 to 3 min., until golden brown.
Make the salad & serve
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, radishes, vinaigrette and S&P. Divide the pasta and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
