8 ounces penne pasta
1 4-ounce piece Fontina cheese, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

Steps:

Arrange a third of pasta in prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange half of Fontina cheese slices over pasta. Repeat layering. Top with remaining pasta. Sprinkle pasta with salt and pepper. Dot with butter.
