Serving

12 oz cavatappi pasta
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
3 cups milk
2 cups (8 oz.) freshly shredded white cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) freshly shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) freshly shredded fontina cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) freshly shredded asiago cheese
1 1/2 cups soft, fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, melt 1/2 cup butter in a Dutch oven over low heat; whisk in flour and ground red pepper until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 6 to 7 minutes or until milk mixture is thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat.
