STEPS

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook shell pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally until still firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook and stir until mushrooms have browned and onion is translucent, about 7 minutes.

Add radicchio, garlic, and sage; cook until radicchio has wilted and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pasta.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour; cook until foaming. Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat; whisk in Asiago cheese, heavy cream, 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until sauce is melted and smooth.

Pour sauce over pasta mixture; stir until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and panko bread crumbs.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Broil until topping is golden brown, about 1 minute.

💡 Be sure to cook the pasta al dente to avoid overcooking it during baking.For more depth of flavor, consider sautéing the radicchio longer to caramelize it slightly.You can substitute Asiago cheese with another hard cheese like Gruyere or Pecorino Romano if unavailable.
