Macaroni Cheese with Blue Cheese and Mushrooms

9 oz dried macaroni
Sea salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
4 oz sliced mushrooms
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 oz blue cheese

Add macaroni to a large pot of boiling salted water with the olive oil and cook 7 to 10 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Return to pan and set aside.

Melt butter in a small skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until softened and gold brown, then season with pepper.

Heat the broiler.

Add cream to macaroni and crumble in two-thirds of the blue cheese. Heat gently for a few minutes to melt the cheese, season with pepper.

Transfer the macaroni cheese to a gratin dish and sprinkle on the mushrooms and remaining cheese. Place under the hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes to brown lightly, then serve.
