White Mac and Cheese, Italian Style

This is the dish my kids most often request from me. This is pure comfort food. It is made entirely of white cheeses but just as yummy as the American classic.

Serves 8 main servings or 12 side servings

1 pound cooked pasta shells
2 cups fat free half and half
2 cups l% milk
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb shredded mozzarella
4oz goat cheese
6oz shredded fontina cheese
5 slices of prosciutto ham cut into strips

Preheat oven to 375. Grease a large casserole dish with cooking spray. In a medium sized sauce pan over medium high heat, melt the butter or margarine. Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes to combine. Slowly whisk in the milks until smooth and no lumps are present. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg.  Switch to a spoon and continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Turn the heat to low and add the mozzarella and goat cheeses. Stir until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth. Turn off heat. Drain the pasta and return to the pasta pot. Pour in the cheese sauce and add the prosciutto. Stir to combine. Pour the pasta mixture into the casserole and top with the fontina cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until pasta is browned on top and bubbly.
