Directions

Ingredients

Heat oven to 375 degrees and position an oven rack in upper third of oven. Use 1 tablespoon butter to butter a 9-inch round or square baking pan. The pan size is essential for a creamier dish. In a blender, mix ricotta cheese, cream cheese, milk, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg, and salt and pepper together. Reserve 1/4 cup grated white cheddar cheese for topping. In a large bowl, combine remaining grated cheese, milk mixture, and uncooked pasta. Pour into prepared pan, cover tightly with foil and bake 30-minutes. Uncover pan, stir gently, sprinkle with reserved cheese and dot with remaining tablespoon butter. Bake, uncovered, 20-minutes more, until browned. Let cool at least 15-minutes before serving.
