Macaroni Quattro Formaggi with Prosciutto
Ingredients:
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for dish
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5-1/2 cups milk
2 tsp coarse salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1-1/2 cups (about 4-1/2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 cups (about 6 oz) grated Gruyere cheese
1-1/2 cups (about 6 oz) grated fontina cheese
1-1/2 cups (about 6 oz) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 one-lb box ziti or mostaccioli pasta, uncooked
1/2 lb thinly sliced prosciutto
Method:
1. Heat oven to 375°. Butter a 3-qt casserole dish; set aside.
2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add onion, and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 min.
4. While butter is bubbling, add flour. Cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk to coat onions, for 1 min.
5. While whisking, slowly pour in milk. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles and becomes thick.
6. Remove pan from heat; stir in salt, black pepper, cayenne, and all the cheese. Set cheese sauce aside.
7. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
8. Add pasta, and cook 2 to 3 min less than manufacturer's instructions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone.
9. Transfer pasta to a colander, and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking; drain well.
10. Stir pasta into the reserved cheese sauce.
11. Thinly slice about three pieces of the prosciutto to yield 1/4 cup; set aside.
12. Place half of the remaining prosciutto in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
13. Layer with half of the pasta mixture; Place remaining prosciutto in a layer over the pasta, and top with the remaining pasta mixture.
14. Sprinkle shredded prosciutto on top.
