  3. After the 5 minutes, salt the mushrooms, season them with a pinch of pepper, stir, and turn off the heat.
  4. In a small nonstick saucepan, mix the cornstarch with the remaining oil. Slowly pour in the cold milk in a thin stream and whisk to get rid of any lumps.
  5. Cook over very low heat until the mixture comes to a boil, add the Asiago, sliced very thin beforehand, and stir until all the ingredients are completely combined.

  8. Put the skillet with the mushrooms back on the heat, drain the spätzle from the cold water, and add them to the skillet. Add the cheese sauce, stir, and cook over high heat for about a minute.
