Ingredients

Pasta

Cheese Sauce

Topping

Preparation

Cooking the Pasta

1. Boil the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making the Cheese Sauce

2. Prepare the Roux

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux.

3. Add Milk

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Incorporate the Cheeses

Add the cream cheese, blue cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until all the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. Season the Sauce

Season with black pepper and nutmeg. Mix well to combine.

Combining and Baking

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked penne pasta to the cheese sauce. Stir well to ensure that all the pasta is coated with the sauce.

7. Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the pasta and cheese mixture to a baking dish.

8. Add Topping

In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pasta.

9. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
