12 ounces wide egg noodles
1 stick Butter, for greasing dish
2 cups heavy cream
2.5 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
.5 teaspoon truffle salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces smoked gruyere or gouda cheese
8 ounces fontina cheese
8 ounces mozzarella
4 ounces cooked ham or kielbasa
.5 cup italian style bread crumbs

Steps:

Butter 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling oiled water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Drain well, but do not rinse.
Whisk the cream, milk, flour, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Stir in half Fontina, gruyere or gouda, mozzarella and ham/kielbasa, if using.
Add the noodles and toss to coat. Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Mix together remaining cheese and bread crumbs in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the noodle mixture. Bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts and begins to brown on top, about 20 minutes.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
