baci's baking - Creamy Four-cheese Macaroni

A day late, but I couldn't leave you without a baci's baking recipe this week :) Once again, a tweaked recipe, this Creamy Four-cheese Macaroni (from the Food Network originally) is my absolute favorite guilty pleasure!! Enjoy!

Creamy Four-cheese Macaroni

3 cups gemelli pasta
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2⅓ cup milk
¾ cup shredded Fontina cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded non-fat cheddar cheese
4 oz. Velveeta Light, quartered
½ cup Japanese Panko bread crumbs
salt

1) Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside.

2) Bring a large pot of water to boil, salt water and add pasta - cooking until al dente. Drain into a colander, run under cold water and set aside.

3) While pasta is cooking, combine flour and milk in a large saucepan, whisking until blended. Cook over medium heat until thick, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

4) Add cheeses and cook until melted and thickened.

5) Remove from heat and stir in the pasta and ¼ teaspoon salt.
6) Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs over top.

7) Bake until bubbly, about 30-40 minutes.
