    Recipe



    TO MAKE CHEESE SAUCE:
    Saute onion in 6 tablespoons butter until soft.

    Add flour slowly while stirring to make roux. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat.

    While stirring constantly, add cream and milk. Add seasonings and cheese, and simmer over low heat until thickened and smooth. If a more refined sauce is desired, you may strain it.

    TO MAKE MACARONI:
    Saute mushrooms in 1/4 cup butter until lightly browned.

    Add shrimp and scallops and saute 1 to 2 minutes.

    Add cooked macaroni and stir. Add cheese sauce and blend thoroughly. Season with salt, pepper and chives. Place mixture in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

    Brown lightly under the broiler before serving.

    Servings: 4
