How to Make Baked Three Cheeses And Buttered Spirals

  1. Cook 250g pasta spirals in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. (Check package directions for exact timing)
  2. Drain the pasta well, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
  3. While the pasta cooks, melt 50g butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauteed onions. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Add 100g softened cream cheese, 50g crumbled blue cheese, and 100g grated cheddar cheese to the pasta. Stir until the cheeses are melted and creamy, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Transfer the pasta mixture to a shallow, oven-safe dish.
  8. Bake in a preheated moderate oven (180°C/350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
