Vegetables
Wash the broccoli and finely chop the florets. Clean the mushrooms, cut them in half and then finely slice them. Heat up a pan and sauté the vegetables with the oil over medium-high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the the pan from the stove and set aside until the pasta and sauce is ready.
Cheese Sauce
Meanwhile cook the pasta according tot the package directions. Grate the cheese or cut it into small pieces. Put the butter in the second saucepan or pot and let it melt over low to medium heat. Then add the flour and stir well to make a roux. Pour in the milk and whisk well.
Increase the heat a bit so that the sauce slowly starts to simmer. Next, add the cream cheese and cheese and let the sauce continue to simmer over low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the pasta water (⅛ to ¼ cup)
Serve
