Directions:
Preheat oven to 425º.

Bechamel sauce:
In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook about 2 minutes. Stirring, gradually add milk and continue to whisk until sauce is smooth and creamy. Simmer until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, 1/2 cup fontina, prosciutto and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook rigatoni in boiling, salted water about 5 minutes (will cook more in oven.) Drain and return to pot. Pour in bechamel sauce and mix well until pasta is coated.

Pour the pasta into a greased 13 by 9 inch baking dish. Smooth out top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup fontina. Dot the top with diced butter and bake in oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbling and top is golden.
