Ingredients

1 Pasta bag of your choosing

Topping

2/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cheese Sauce

4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
3 cups milk (1 cup added first, then 2 cups)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pepper (to taste)
2 cups cheese (combination of two types recommended)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cook the Pasta: Start by Boiling some water. Once boiled add your pasta. While the pasta cooks, prepare your topping.

Prepare topping: Mix together 2/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs,2 Tbs butter, and 1/4 tsp Salt Once the pasta is done, drain it and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter to coat.

Prepare the Sauce: In a separate pan, melt 4 Tbs of butter over medium heat, then quickly whisk in the 1/3 Cup of flour. Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously, then add the remaining 2 cups. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth.

Season and add your Cheese: Mix in 3/4 tsp salt, 1tsp Garlic and some pepper. Stir in your cheese—feel free to use a combination of two types for extra flavor! I used about 2 cups.

Assemble the Dish: Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked pasta and mix well.

Add the Topping: Evenly sprinkle your prepared topping over the pasta.

Bake the dish for about 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.

Enjoy your cheesy, golden-baked pasta perfection!
