Zucchini Dutch Cheese Casserole

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the egg noodles, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, place the zucchini and water into a 2 quart, microwave safe casserole dish with lid. Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 6 minutes. Scrape the zucchini into the colander with the pasta and set aside. Place the butter, mushrooms, onion, and garlic into the casserole dish. Cook on high for 3 minutes, then stir in the flour, salt, and basil. Stir in the milk, then return the dish to the microwave and cook on high 5 minutes more, stirring every 2 minutes.
3. Stir the zucchini and pasta into the mushroom sauce along with 1 cup of the Gouda cheese. Cook for 6 more minutes on high, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and cook another minute until the cheese has melted.

"What a great casserole!! I was nervous about it being a microwave dish - I'm so used to cooking casseroles in the stove oven. But it turned out great! I couldn't find Gouda cheese so I bought a 7 o..." See morez. package of Feta cheese and a package of shredded Mozzarella cheese. I used the Feta cheese for the first step of paragraph 3. Then I used 1 cup of the shredded Mozzarella for the final step. Very good! Also, one suggestion: I stirred the pasta/zucchini combination several times in the colander so as to not let the pasta get rubbery. Thanks for a keeper!!"
