Ingredients:

- 400g pasta (penne or macaroni)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
   - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
   - Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
   - Drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Prepare the Bechamel Sauce:
   - In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   - Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes, until the mixture turns a light golden color.
   - Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
   - Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

3. Assemble the Dish:
   - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta and the bechamel sauce. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
   - Add the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan to the pasta mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.

4. Bake:
   - Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased baking dish.
   - Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
   - Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve:
   - Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
   - Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
   - Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Bechamel pasta!
