Ingredients

  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded
  • cooking spray

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cream, half-and-half, and garlic salt. Add Gruyere cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Oaxaca cheese. Stir into cream until melted. Drain pasta and add to the sauce; stir to coat.
  • Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in pasta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
