Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil a large pot about 3/4 full of water. Add a healthy pinch of salt to the water. Pour entire box of pasta in water and stir. Boil pasta for about 7-9 minutes or until it's "al dente" or has a bite.
While your pasta cooks, in a large bowl, mix all of the cheeses together. With your hands, blend the cheeses so the color looks even. From this mixture remove about a cup of the cheese blend and set aside for later.
To the cheese mixture, add your eggs, salt, and light cream. Melt the stick of butter in microwave and add to mixture. Stir this wet cheese mixture until it has the consistency of a wet oatmeal. Usually takes about 2-4 minutes.
Drain pasta and pour half of the cooked pasta into the wet cheese blend. Stir in contents thoroughly, then repeat with second half.
In a 9"x13" pan ( or one near that size), grease/butter the entire pan very well. This prevents the mixture from sticking and creates great color. Pour the entire mixture from the bowl into your greased pan and spread it evenly.
Finally, take that cup of the dry cheese blend and sprinkle that evenly across the top of the mixture. Place the dish in the oven and bake on the top rack.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove when bubbly and golden on top. Allow to cool for 5- minutes, serve and enjoy!
