- Cooking spray
- 1 cup uncooked whole-wheat penne
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

- Reduce heat to medium, and add olive oil to pan. Add flour, salt, and pepper; cook 12 minutes until flour begin to brown. Stir in milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking well to ensure a smooth sauce. Stir in cheeses; whisk until completely melted. Stir in cooked pasta. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.
- Top pasta mixture with panko; bake at 350u0b0 for 20 minutes or until top begins to brown and cheese is bubbly.
