3 cups grated fontina5 cups grated cheddar4 cups milk
1 3 to 4-inch piece day old Italian bread2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish2 cups grated Grana Padano, Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano4 large fresh sage leaves1 pound macaroni* Swiss cheese adds a unique hidden contribution if you care to add 1 cup.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta. In alarge bowl, combine fontina and cheddar. Pour milk over. Let cheese sit in the milk for
30 minutes to an hour, until the cheese begins to break down and dissolve into the milk.
Grate bread on the coarse holes of a box grater to get about 1 1/2 cups coarse crumbs.In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. When butter is melted, add
breadcrumbs. Stir and toss the crumbs until crisp and toasted, about 3 minutes. Scrapecrumbs into a bowl and let cool. Butter a large baking dish and coat the bottom andsides with a thin layer of some of the crumbs. Stir 1 cup of the grated Grana orParmigiano into remaining crumbs.
Pour cheese and milk into a pot and add the sage leaves. Whisk over medium-low heatuntil cheese melts, about 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 cup grated Grana or
Parmigiano. Meanwhile, add macaroni to boiling water. Cook until very al dente (3 or 4minutes shy of package cooking time) and drain. Return pasta to pot. Add cheese sauceand stir until all of the pasta is coated with the sauce. Scrape pasta into prepared bakingdish and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Bake until browned and bubbly, about 20minutes.
