Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb rotelle pasta (they look like wagon wheels)
3/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (i used an aged 5 year old variety)
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, shredded
1/2 cup asiago cheese, shredded
1/2 cup fontina cheese, shredded
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried mustard
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs ( japanese bread crumbs)

Directions:

PLEASE NOTE: This is a BAKED macaroni and cheese, therefore, it will NOT turn out with a lot of extra cheesy sauce asis absorbed into the pasta while baking. If you require an extra saucy mac & cheese, just reduce the amount of pasta you place into the dish or make more sauce so it is creamier. Thanks so much for making this dish; I hope you enjoy it! :).
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 3 quart rectangular baking dish with non-stick spray. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boiling.
Toss all the shredded cheeses together in a large bowl, set aside.
Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth and slightly bubbly.
In a thin stream, whisk in the milk. Stir in the onion powder, salt, nutmeg, dried mustard and cayenne.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in 2 1/2 cups of the cheese mixture and stir until smooth. Cover to retain the heat.
Once water boils, add pasta. Cook until your desired doneness, then drain. In the pasta container, stir together the cooked pasta and cheese sauce.
Pour half of the mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with a generous cup of the reserved cheese. Spoon remaining cheese-covered pasta into the dish and top with the remaining cheese.
Add 1 cup of Japanese Panko Bread crumbs to the top of mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the Panko crumbs are lightly browned and the cheese is bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.
