Ingredients
1 pound O pasta
3 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces white processed cheese
1 cup shredded Havarti cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups prepared fried onions
2 green onions, sliced, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the flour and stir with a whisk as you add. Let the flour cook for 1 minute. Continue whisking while slowly pouring in the milk, then the cream. Cook until thick and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheeses in handfuls until completely melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Add the pasta and stir until completely coated. Sprinkle over the fried onions.
- Bake until the onions are deep golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with the green onions, if using.
