Love the mushrooms!
Oh yah! Bring on the mac!! Looks perfect!
Thanks Jenny! Total comfort food 🙂
Love mushrooms and this mushroom pasta looks good!
Yummmmm! We just had our first taste of a cool front, and that has set me to craving the comfortf oods.
Aww your poor baby!! Getting hit by a porcupine is definitely a scary thing. Good thing your pup’s ok now. On another note, this pasta looks lovely! Can’t go wrong with mushrooms and cheese!
yes please! I love the addition of mushrooms!
I’m going to have to make this for my husband. He loves pasta and mushrooms!
Oh yay! Hopefully you can whip this up soon 🙂
OMG Poor little guy! I hope he has a speedy recovery. And the pasta – awesomeness. Mushroom mac-n-cheese . . . yes, please!
Thank you Naomi 🙂 Moose in on the mends. In the mean time, I’m in the house with him cooking more!
Yummm!! I love that you used whole grain pasta .. .sounds delicious!!
Sharana, I always try to use whole food ingredients when possible in my recipes 🙂 So glad you like this dish!
Moose is adorable. Poor pup! As I kid I remember our dogs occasionally getting stuck from a porcupine. The worst! My brother had me sit on the poor thing while he pulled the quills. No fun.
That said, this looks like a great meal for us this week.
Thank you Aimee. It hurts so much to see our pets & children in pain. We want to protect them so badly. Moose will see the vet tomorrow. Today he is loving all the lazy attention around the house. Sounds like a lot of country pups end up with at least one porcupine encounter. None of which are fun for anyone!
Glad you like the recipe 🙂
This is an awesome recipe! I like the healthy mac and cheese recipe with fusilli! I am sorry to hear about your beautiful dog getting porcupine quills in him. I hope he feels better soon!!
Thank you Julie….Moose is moving slow today (not like him at all) but getting better 🙂
The perfect pasta for dinner!!
This looks great & can’t wait to try it out! Mushrooms & Cheese can’t go wrong with this combo. Hope that Moose gets to feeling better & soon. 🙂
I love that you used Manchego in this recipe! It’s one of my favorite cheeses. 🙂
Me too Michelle! I use it anywhere I can 🙂
Oh wow, the shrooms in here! Love, love! Don’t even need the noodles 🙂 but fusilli are so good! Love those curly little guys! Pinned!
Aww poor guy, glad he’s ok! Love this mac ‘n cheese, the mushrooms make this!
Love mushroom and cheese combo. They are even better in pasta. YUM!
Mushrooms make any savory dish better. I love this dish without even trying it—so I imagine I will love it even more when I do. <3
Moose is so cute! Hope he feel better soon! Loving this pasta dish! I adore mushrooms with cheese!
Marla, first off, I LOVE this pasta. Manchego & cheddar blend? oh my gawd. . and so sorry to hear about Moose (love the name by the way)!!! I can’t believe he ran into a porcupine! that’s crazy! poor thing. . I hope he is recovering well!
Thanks Alice! Mr. Moose is doing so much better now. We had the vet over for a visit to take care of the last few quills. Glad you are digging my pasta too!
Oh my gosh! I’m making this for dinner tonight. So yummy! I had planned on using my mushrooms for a risotto but this sounds so good. Must try it!
Oh yay!!! So glad I could offer up a delish dinner idea (risotto sounds great too!)
Oh! What an adorable story. I miss having a dog so much. I always had one growing up, but living abroad and moving from country to country isn’t a great life for a dog. I have friends here who try, but I think it’s so mean to put the dogs on a plane and fly them half way around the world. What a traumatic experience! My mom’s dog has had a run in with a porcupine– not a fun experience or the dog or the owner!
You are so right Michelle, the quills in the pup were just as traumatic for me as they were Moose. But I think probably even more so for me. The vet said that unfortunately they don’t learn from these attacks & would go for a porcupine again if given the chance. Argghhhhhh!
