Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a shallow 3-qt baking dish.
Cook pasta in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water as package directs until firm-tender (al dente). Drain in a colander; rinse with cold water and let drain again.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan. Add bread crumbs and cook over medium heat, stirring often, 3 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Scrape into a small bowl and stir in 2 Tbsp each Cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
Wipe saucepan clean. Add milk, flour and garlic; whisk until blended. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in remaining cheeses, mustard and salt. Add pasta to baking dish. Stir in sauce. Sprinkle evenly with crumb mixture.
Bake 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly around edges.
To make this family favorite look a lot more special without paying extra, use a different-shape pasta than the usual elbow.
