Ingredients

2-1/3 cups uncooked penne pasta
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups 2% milk

Preheat oven to 375°. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually whisk in milk and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Gradually stir in Swiss and Colby cheeses until melted. Add ham and pasta; toss to coat.
