• Preheat oven to 350℉. First, make the topping by tossing the panko with the melted butter in a medium bowl. Then mix in the cheese. Set aside.

Add the pasta to the cheese mixture and toss lightly to coat. Pour into a 9-inch square baking dish (see note), and then sprinkle with the topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden.
