Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Coat 2 qt dish with butter.
- Boil Large pot of salted water and add the Penne. Cook 6 minutes and drain. (Don't overcook the pasta. It'll cook more in the oven later.).
- Toss all cheeses together in a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for a few minutes so the roux doesn't taste raw. Whisk in the milk, onion powder, salt and cayenne. Bring to a boil for about three minutes. (In other words, make a white sauce.).
- Add 2 1/2 cups of cheese mixture to the white sauce (Voila! Cheese sauce or, if you prefer, call it a mornay sauce.) Add the cooked penne and mix well.
- Pour half this mixture into the buttered 2 qt dish.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup of the remaining cheese mixture on top of the cheese and pasta in the 2 qt dish.
- Pour the rest of the pasta and cheese mixture into the 2 qt dish and top with the remaining cheese mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Add the final touch by broiling to get a nice browned top on the dish. (Broiling until black is considered bush league.).
