This is Ree’s revamped version of mac and cheese, using the O-shaped pasta she loved as a child. The dish has three types of cheese to make it extra creamy, and is topped with french-fried onions for a delicious crunchy topping.
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.
