De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter.
Ongeveer 2 min
- 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Cooking the pasta slightly less than the package directs will prevent it from becoming mushy after baking.
- 3
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter for the white sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly, to form a paste.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: This paste, called a roux, is the foundation for a smooth, thick sauce.
- 4
Gradually whisk in the whole milk until smooth. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook until it has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg.
Ongeveer 7 min
Tip van de kok: Adding the milk slowly and whisking continuously prevents lumps from forming.

Drain the cooked pasta well and return it to the empty pot.
Ongeveer 1 min
- 6
To the pot with the drained pasta, add the Parmesan cheese from the pasta mix, the Swiss cheese, and the Cheddar cheese. Toss gently to combine.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: The residual heat from the pasta will help start melting the cheeses.
- 7
Stir in the chopped green olives from the pasta mix.
Ongeveer 1 min

Ongeveer 1 min

Let the baked pasta rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with the sliced green olives.
Ongeveer 5 min
