Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
Cook pasta in a big pot of boiling, salted water, until just firm to the bite.
Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water; return pasta with butter to warm pasta pot and stir to coat.
Add gruyere, fontina, mozzarella, Parmesan, and cayenne; mix thoroughly until the cheese is melting but not completely melted.
Place in a buttered 13 x 9 inch baking dish; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon additional Parmesan and breadcrumbs.
Bake until just golden and crusty, 10-15 minutes; let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
