Oven Toasted Macaroni and Cheese

The stuff in a blue box will never be the same again; it's child's play in comparison. This recipe is just phenomonal - I couldn't get enough of the macaroni. Just try it; you'll see what I mean!

INGREDIENTS: (from Perfect Pasta cookbook by Cuisine at Home)
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
Pinch ground nutmeg
2 cups fontina cheese, shredded and divided
1 cup fresh mozzarella, shredded and divided
1 (14-16oz. box) cooked penne, rigatoni or mostaccioli pasta
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 TBSP minced fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450; coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta; cook to package directions, drain and set aside.
Whisk the cream, milk, sour cream, eggs, flour and seasonings together in a large bowl while penne cooks.
Stir 1 cup fontina and 1/2 cup mozzarella into the cream mixture. Add the cooked penne, stir to combine, then transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
Combine bread crumbs and parsley in a bowl, sprinkle on top of penne. Bake until cheese is bubbly and crumbs are golden, about 30 minutes. Let casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

NOTES:
* I didn't have the cayenne pepper so I left it out
* I put all the cheese in rather than dividing
* I made my own bread crumbs from homemade croutons: Took whole grain bread that was getting old and brushed italian flavored olive oil on both sides. Sprinkled with italian seasoning on both sides of bread. Cut into small squares with a pizza wheel and placed flat on a cookie sheet. Sprinkled a bit of shredded parmesan and baked until toasty, flipped and repeated; about 5-10 minutes on each side. Check regularly. Put the croutons in a food processor to make bread crumbs.
* I didn't have fresh parsley to add to the bread crumbs, but they were already italian flavored.
* Use only a hollow pasta so the cheese can flow inside and fill the crevices.
* Don't skimp on the bread crumb topping.
