1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups reduced-fat milk (2%)
2 cups packed coarsely grated aged gouda cheese , plus
1/2 cup finely grated gouda cheese (about 10 oz total )
2 cups packed coarsely grated edam cheese, divided
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 lbs swiss chard or 1 1/2 lbs kale, stems and center ribs removed
12 oz elbow macaroni
