Everytime I make this, the kids ask if we can make it again soon!

1 1/3 c grated Romano cheese
1/2c shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c minced fresh parsley ( or 1/4 dried)
Cook pasta until al dente. Drain tomatoes, reserving 1 1/4c juice & set aside. (For the brand of tomatoes I buy- Dole- it ends up being all the juice). In saucepan melt butter and stir in flour, salt & pepper until smooth. Add milk and reserved tomatoe juice slowly to make a white sauce or roux. Bring to boil and cook & stir for 2minutes until thickened. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sauce & reserved diced tomatoes. Stir in cheeses and parsley and toss gently. Place in greased 3 1/2 Quart baking dish. Bake uncovered for 30-35min at 350 oven or until goldne & bubbly. Supposed to make 12 servings, but my kids love this so much, it only serves 6
