This is such great comfort food when it gets cold! You can change up the cheese however you like. Just use about the same amounts. Extra sharp anything tastes the best!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. (16 oz.) whole wheat pasta (rotini, elbow, penne, whatever looks fun) shopping list
- salt shopping list
- 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil (makes it a little healthier, I think, to use some olive oil instead of all butter) shopping list
- 3 or 4 tablespoons flour shopping list
- salt, pepper shopping list
- about 3/4 cup milk (more or less depending on how thick it looks) shopping list
- about 3/4 cup chicken broth (more or less depending on how thick it looks) shopping list
- about 2 cups extra sharp cheddar, grated shopping list
- about 3/4 cup swiss, grated shopping list
- 1/3 cup parmesian cheese, grated (split into two parts) shopping list
- 2 to 3 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs shopping list
How to make it
- Put pasta is salted boiling water and cook 6 min. or so (just under 'al dente' as it will cook a little more in the oven later).
- Pre-heat broiler.
- Meanwhile, melt butter and heat olive oil in a big skillet.
- Whisk the flour into the butter/oil mixture and whisk for about 2 min. (just enough to cook out the flour taste).
- Add milk and whisk for about a min. until there are no lumps.
- Add chicken broth and whisk until thickened to right consistancy.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in all cheese (reserve 1/2 of the parmesian) until melted.
- Add the cooked, drained pasta and stir until coated.
- Put in a glass casserole dish.
- Mix remaining parmesian cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl and put on top of pasta.
- Put on second to top rack under broiler and bake for about 5 min. until a little brown on the top.
- Let set for a couple minutes before serving.
