Mushrooms and Macaroni

Boil a quarter of a pound of macaroni in a pint and a half of water, with a little pepper and salt, for twenty minutes, or till a piece of it can be crushed between the finger and thumb. Drain the macaroni, put it into a clean stewpan, pour a quarter of a pint of stock over it, with an ounce of grated cheese. Stir it over a gentle fire for five minutes; turn out on a hot dish. Have ready half a pound of mushrooms, put them on the macaroni, and serve. To prepare the mushrooms, wash and skin them, cut them into slices, and put them into a stewpan with an ounce of butter and a little pepper and salt. Toss them over the fire for ten minutes, take them up, and they are ready. Probable cost, 1s.
