Ingredients

½ pound penne pasta

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups beer (such as Goose Island® Honkers Ale)

1 ½ cups whole milk

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ pound sharp Cheddar cheese

½ pound Gruyere cheese

½ cup panko bread crumbs

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.

Step 2

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. Drain and transfer to a bowl.

Step 3

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter until a thick paste (roux) forms about 2 minutes. Add nutmeg; cook and stir until incorporated about 1 minute. Gradually pour beer and milk into roux whisking constantly until smooth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer sauce for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Remove skillet from heat; stir 2/3 of the Cheddar cheese and 2/3 of the Gruyere cheese into the sauce until melted. Pour sauce over pasta and stir to coat; spoon into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese and Gruyere cheese over pasta mixture; top with bread crumbs.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and cheese is melted about 40 minutes.
