9 Tbsp. butter
4 1/2 Tbsp. flour
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1/2 c. half and half

1 c. plus 2 Tbsp. grated sharp white cheddar cheese
6 oz. mascarpone cheese
10 oz. cooked chicken breast, sliced or cubed (can use grilled chicken)

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray. 

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in flour.  Gradually stir in broth.  Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat to low.  Stir in mascarpone, white cheddar cheese, Gouda, Parmigiano and half and half.  Allow all cheese to melt and meld together, while continuously stirring.  Once completely mixed together and cheese is melted, stir in chicken.

Add pasta to chicken mixture; toss gently to mix well.  Spoon into baking dish.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake, uncovered, about 15-25 minutes or until hot in the center.
