Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 190C.
- Pour oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions for 6-8 minutes. Drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but do not boil it. In a large saucepan (4 l), melt 6 tbsp (90 g) of butter and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Continuing to stir, add the hot milk and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Turn off the heat, add the Gruyere and Cheddar cheeses, 1 tbsp of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked pasta and mix well. Pour into a 3-quart baking dish.
- Slice the tomatoes and arrange them on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 g) of butter, mix it with fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle it over the pasta. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce begins to simmer and the pasta is golden brown on top.
