    1/2 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushroom
    2 large shallots, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, chopped

    Cook macaroni/tortellini in large pot of boiling water until tender, but still firm to bite.

    Butter a 13 x 9 casserole dish.
    Cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp.
    Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate to drain.

    Sauteed until golden, about 6 minutes.
    Add shallots and garlic and saute about 5 minutes (until golden).
    Add macaroni, cream, and corn and toss until sauce coats macaroni, abut 3 minutes.

    Transfer to baking dish.
    Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
    Broil until brown, about 3 minutes (don't let burn).
