Ingredients
6 servings
- •¼ cup unsalted butter
- •2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- •2 cups 1% milk
- •1 ½ cups grated smoked fontina cheese, divided
- •1 pinch garlic salt
- •ground black pepper to taste
- •1 (12 ounce) package fusilli pasta
- •6 ounces cold-smoked Coho salmon, flaked
- •¼ cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in milk and continue to whisk until sauce is smooth and creamy. Simmer until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup fontina cheese, garlic salt, and pepper; set aside.
- Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add fusilli and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain. Return pasta to the pot and pour in bechamel sauce. Mix with a wooden spoon until pasta is completely coated with sauce. Gently stir in flaked salmon.
- Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Smooth out the top and sprinkle with remaining fontina cheese and panko.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden brown on top, about 25 minutes.
