Oh wow! I wouldn't make this very often, because it's pretty awful for me nutritionally, but it's soooo good! Very Paula Deen-esque, full of butter and cheese. Loved the thick cheese sauce, and the ratio of sauce to pasta. In fact, baking it with the buttered panko is pretty much just gilding the lily. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious topped and baked, but I would've been just as happy eating the pasta and sauce as-is. I used some Cabot 3-year cheddar for the shredded cheese, and I went with the lesser amount of panko (I suspect that it would be equally good with only half of that, too). Thanks for posting!
