      1 lb Dried elbow macaroni or bow
           - ties
      1 tb Olive oil
      8 oz Fresh mushrooms; sliced *
    1/2 c  Chopped onion
      3 cl Garlic; minced
      4 c  Fresh baby spinach
      2 tb Butter
      2 tb All-purpose flour
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/4 ts Ground black pepper
  1 1/2 c  Whole milk
  1 1/4 c  Crumbed blue cheese or
           - Gorgonzola
    1/2 c  Chopped walnuts; toasted
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Coat a 2 qt baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain.
  Return macaroni to pan; set aside.
  
  Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil over medium-high
  heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5 to 7
  minutes or until mushrooms are tender and brown, stirring
  frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach.
  
  Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium
  heat. Whisk in flour, nutmeg, and pepper. Cook and stir
  for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk. Cook and stir until
  thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low. Add blue cheese;
  stir until cheese melts.
  
  Add cheese mixture and mushroom mixture to macaroni; stir
  to combine. Spoon pasta mixture into prepared casserole.
  Sprinkle walnuts evenly over top.
  
  Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until heated through.
  
  * Note: Use white, brown, or shiitake mushrooms, or try a
  combination. It is important not to crowd the skillet when
  cooking the mushrooms. They should become richly colored
  and a little crisp on the edges rather than steam in their
  juices.
  
  Makes: 8 servings
