- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
- 1 Spanish Onion, Thinly Sliced
- Kosher Salt
- 8 ounces, fluid Cavatappi Or Other Small Cut Pasta
- 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 12 ounces, fluid Evaporated Milk

- 6 ounces, fluid Swiss Cheese, Freshly Grated
- 2 ounces, fluid Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated, Divided
- 1/2 teaspoons Freshly-ground Nutmeg

- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Butter an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Add onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and reduced, about 40 minutes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to the directions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot you used to cook the pasta, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add flour, whisking until combined to create a roux. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and smooth. Slowly pour in whole milk, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour in evaporated milk and whisk until thickened. Reduce heat to low and add Gruyere and Swiss cheeses and all but a couple tablespoons of the Parmesan. Stir until all of the cheese is melted. Stir in nutmeg, mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cooked pasta and onions.
- Transfer mixture to the buttered baking dish and top with remaining Parmesan. Bake until top is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
