Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta til al dente – drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat – don’t let it brown.
Add the flour to the butter, and whisk together over the heat.
When the mixture bubbles for 30 seconds, whisk in the milk, and cook, stirring regularly until it thickens (about 3-5 mins)
Add the salt and pepper and test for seasoning.
Keep aside a half cup each of the cheeses, and stir in the rest - whisking until smooth.
When the pasta is almost done but still firm, drain it.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and add the pasta folding it to combine it thoroughly.
Top with remaining cheese, and place under a broiler until browned and bubbling.
Remove from oven, and let cool slightly.
Devour.
