Add onion, serrano and sauté until onions are tender. Add milk, half & half, flour and whisk while the milk reduces and thickens. Remove pan from heat, whisk in cheddar and gruyere cheese until cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth. Add cooked pasta and mix (15-20 min).
Remove chili pepper and transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and Panko in an even layer.
Bake until sauce is bubbling, and parmesan Panko topping is toasty and golden brown (15-20 min). Enjoy!
