1 16oz. penne pasta
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbs. butter
4 tbs. flour
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
Grated parmesan cheese
Spray casserole dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
Cook pasta until done, drain and return to pot.
Melt butter in another saucepan; add onions and garlic and cook slowly until tender.
Have milk & cream measured, set aside and ready to go... then add flour, salt & pepper to the butter, onion, garlic mixture. Stir well and cook flour mixture for just a few minutes.
Add milk slowly, stirring with a whisk. Whisk constantly until thickened. As soon as it gets thick enough, remove from heat and whisk in nutmeg. Then pour sauce over pasta. Mix well, and transfer to a casserole dish.
Top with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees until hot and light golden brown.
*** We made this at home and added some cooked chicken to it and it was very yummy! I also think it would be very yummy with some mushrooms added in ***
