Cook time: P0Y0M0DT0H20M0.000S
Total time: P0Y0M0DT0H30M0.000S
Yield: 10 kid-size servings or 4 to 6 main servings
Ingredients: Kosher salt; 1 cup whole milk; 4 ounces gorgonzola, cut into small cubes; 4 ounces taleggio, cut into small cubes; 2 ounces gruyere, grated; 2 ounces Parmesan, grated, plus more for topping; 1 pound mezze pasta (short penne); Freshly ground black pepper; 1/3 cup plain dried breadcrumbs

Directions

Adjust the oven rack to the top shelf. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Heat the milk in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cheeses to the hot milk and start melting. With a wooden spoon, stir gently but continuously, until all the cheeses are melted together.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the directions on the box, and, as always, to make sure you achieve a proper "al dente" texture, drain it about 2 minutes before what is indicated.
Toss the penne and the cheese sauce together, season with salt and a generous amount of ground black pepper. Divide the penne between ten 6-ounce ramekins. Top with a light sprinkling of breadcrumbs and a grating of Parmesan.
Turn the broiler on high and broil until golden and crisp on top, 3 to 5 minutes.
