Servings: persons

500 g pasta (elbow, penne or rotini)
2 cups milk
2 dried bay leaves
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 cups shredded aged cheddar (or emmental or gruyere)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1
Preheat oven to 400 u00b0F.
2
Cook pasta untill al dente, drain and set aside.
3
Into a small pot add milk and bay leaves. Heat until a few bubbles start to show up on the sides of the pot. Take off the heat and leave to infuse.
4
In a medium pot, melt butter over medium-low heat and wait until the foaming subsides. Add flour and stir constantly for a couple of minutes until smooth.
5
Slowly add the warm milk and leave the mixture on medium heat-you don't want this to get beyond a simmer. Whisk or stir constantly until smooth and thickening. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
6
Whisk in the Dijon mustard.
7
Take the sauce off the heat and add in grated cheese slowly, stirring until it all melts. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
8
Add the cheese sauce to the pasta and combine.
9
Lightly grease a 13 X 9 casserole dish and pour in the pasta and cheese.
10
Sprinkle the top of the dish with 1/4-1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
11
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until heated through and browning on top.
