5 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup gruyere, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1/2 cup fontina, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |

6 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping |

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. 2. Cook pasta in a big pot of boiling, salted water, until just firm to the bite. 3. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water; return pasta with butter to warm pasta pot and stir to coat. 4.
