Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, then set aside. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente or just slightly undercooked. As pasta boils, add butter to a large dutch oven or pot and melt over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Add flour and stir to combine. Cook for 30 seconds, then slowly whisk in milk. Add heavy cream and broth and continue whisking until smooth. Add salt, pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, and parmesan cheese. Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce, then mix in 1 cup of mozzarella and 1 cup of white cheddar. Transfer pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and white cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and cheese is turning golden. |
