Servings: persons

4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 cups milk (whole or low-fat; do not use fat-free)
12 ounces Gruyere, finely grated (see Notes)
1 pound smoked, wet-cured ham, chopped
One 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and squeezed of any excess moisture
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mango chutney
1 tablespoon minced tarragon leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon
12 ounces dried ziti, cooked and drained according to the package instructions
1 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (see Notes)

1
Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 350F.
2
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
3
Whisk in the flour, then whisk occasionally over the heat just until the mixture is bubbling and a very pale beige, about 2 minutes.
4
Whisk in the milk and continue whisking over the heat until thickened, about 4 minutes.
5
Drop the whisk and use a wooden spoon to stir in the Gruyere, ham, artichoke hearts, mustard, chutney, and tarragon.
6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cooked ziti.
7
Pour the contents of the pan into a 3-quart casserole dish, or even a 9-by-13-inch baking dish if you like more of the top exposed to the heat and many more crunchy bits as a result.
8
Sprinkle the Parrnigiano-Reggiano over the casserole and bake until brown and bubbling, about 35 minutes.
9
Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
