Ingredients
- kosher salt
- 6 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 6 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
- 1 quart whole milk, heated
- 1 large sprig fresh thyme, plus 1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 oz. (2 packed cups) grated extra-sharp white Cheddar (the sharpest you can find; I like Cabotâs Seriously Sharp Hunterâs Cheddar)
- 4 oz. (1 packed cup) grated Monterey Jack
- 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb. elbow macaroni or other small pasta, such as pipette or small shells
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more for the baking dish
- 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (I don't measure, but I'd say I use about 1/2 that amount of fresh breadcrumbs - this is the amount for cubed, fresh breadcrumbs. If you have the fine ground breadcrumbs just lightly sprinkle across the top)
- 1-1/2 oz. (1/2 lightly packed cup) freshly grated parmigiano-Reggiano
