Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter (2 sticks); 1/2 cup flour; 1/2 cup amber beer; 2 cups half-and-half; 1/2 lb brie cheese; 16 ounces cream cheese (2 packages); 1 1/2 cups crumbled gorgonzola; 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese; 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided; 1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta, cooked and drained; salt and pepper; 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Servings: persons

1/2 cup butter (2 sticks)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup amber beer
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 lb brie cheese
16 ounces cream cheese (2 packages)
1 1/2 cups crumbled gorgonzola
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta, cooked and drained
salt and pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1
In a medium, heavy-bottom pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a light roux. Slowly whisk in the beer and half and half.
2
Add the Brie and cream cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheeses are melted and incorporated. Stir in the Gorgonzola, cheddar and 1 cup Parmesan cheese.
3
Stir in the pasta, taste and adjust the seasonings as desired with salt and pepper (some of the cheese will be salty and the mixture may need only a little salt, if any).
4
Pour the mixture into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Top the mixture by sprinkling over the remaining Parmesan cheese and panko crumbs. Place the dish in the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbly and the toppings are crisp and golden, about 1 hour. Cool slightly before serving.
