Ingredients

1 pkg ( 16oz ) Ronzoni® Large Elbows

3 tbs butter

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tbs all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1 cup 35% cream

2 tbs Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided

1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded and divided

1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled and divided

4 oz Brie, cut into cubes

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated and divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F oven. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.

2. Meanwhile, melt butter in large high-side skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with flour. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth.

3. Slowly whisk in milk and cream. Continue to whisk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in mustard, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 3/4 cup Cheddar, 3/4 cup Gruyere, 1/3 cup goat cheese, all the brie and 1/4 cup Parmesan until melted.

4. Toss in pasta and reserved pasta water until well coated. Transfer to greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with each remaining cheese.

5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.

Tip: This is a great way to use up any leftover cheese from a cheese tray. Substitute with any mix of cheese you have on hand.

Stir herb mix of finely chopped fresh chives, thyme and parsley to cheese sauce for fresh finish.
