to add to the mix. With cheddar, Gruyere and Asiago (or Parm) cheese how can one go wrong? I haven't made this yet, but wanted to post for safe-keeping and share with the community. Saw this in the Oct., 2009 issue of Family Circle. Ingredients:
1 lb penne pasta |
3/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
3 tablespoons flour |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 cups milk |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Coat a 2-quart broiler-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boiling and add penne. Cook 6 minutes; drain. In a large bowl, toss together the cheeses and set aside.
4. Melt butter in medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and slightly bubbly. In a thin stream, whisk in milk; add onion powder, salt and cayenne. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes.
5. Remove from heat; whisk in 2 1/2 cups of the cheese mixture.
6. In the pasta pot, stir together the cooked penne and the cheese sauce. Pour HALF into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with a generous cup of the cheese. Spoon remaining penne into dish and top with remaining cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil and cook 3 minutes, until top is lightly browned.
