Cook pasta al dente
While pasta cooks melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Turn off heat and add breadcrumbs and Parmigiano-reggiano. Stir and set aside.
Using the pasta pot melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add and cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally until translucent. Add flour and stir constantly until onion is coated, continue stirring for 2 minutes until mixture darkens slightly and smells nutty. Slowly whisk in the milk, cream, and salt and cook until the mixture is just beginning to thicken and bubble around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. It should be a similar texture to cake batter. If it's soupy continue cooking until it thickens. Add 1 1/2 of the cheddar, the gruyere, mustard poser, cayenne, and nutmeg and stir until cheeses have melted and sauce is smooth.
Add pasta and stir to combine. Add bacon if desired. Pour into greased square baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and top with bread crumb mixture. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
