Smothered Ziti in Mozzarella

Heat pan over low heat and put a cup of butter or margarine. Saute minced white onions and let it caramelize. Add 2 tablespoons of flour, evaporated milk or 2% milk and cream of mushroom. Stir until thick. Add a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix. Remove the pan from heat.

Drench the cooked penne pasta in the mixture and sprinkle two handfuls of shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue mixing until pasta is evenly covered. Place the pasta in a microwavable dish and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 5 mins at 350 degrees. To make that crusty, golden brown cheese topping, switch the oven to 'broil' and let the pasta cook for another 3 mins.
