Directions

Preheat the oven to 500. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Combine all the ingredients except the penne pasta and butter in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Drop the penne into the boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Drain well and add to the cheese mixture, tossing to combine. Divide the pasta among 6 shallow ceramic gratin dishes. Some of the cheese bubbles over so place dishes on a cookie sheet. Dot with butter and bake until bubbly and brown on top; about 10 minutes. Might need covered with foil the last few minutes if getting too brown.
