BAKED RIGATONI WITH BECHAMEL SAUCE
Béchamel sauce:
1 stick unsalted butter (4 ounces)
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 quart whole milk, at room temperature
Pinch fresh nutmeg
Sea salt and white pepper
1 cup grated fontina
1/2 pound thinly sliced proscuitto, julienned
1 pound dry rigatoni
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Béchamel sauce: In a 2 quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Always stirring, gradually add the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Simmer until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This will take approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, 1/2 cup fontina, proscuitto and season with salt and white pepper. Set aside. In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Add the rigatoni and cook for about 5 minutes. Since you will be cooking the pasta a second time in the oven, you want to make sure the inside is still hard. Drain in a colander. Return pasta to the pot and pour in béchamel sauce. Using a wooden spoon, mix well until all the pasta is coated with the sauce. Into a greased 13 by 9-inch baking dish, pour the pasta with cream sauce. Smooth out top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup fontina. Dot the top with diced butter and bake in oven for 25 minutes or until bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Fontina is kinda similar to Gruyere. It's an Italian cows-milk cheese.

Shame we're on diets - sounds very yummy.
Although I've always been iffy with Bechamel sauces - sometimes I make them well, other times - not so much.

Same here on both accounts.
I think what I screw up with the sauce is not letting it come back up to a boil. If it doesn't boil, the sauce never sets up.
