Postopek
Korak za korakom
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter.
Približno 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.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Cooking the pasta slightly less than the package directs will prevent it from becoming mushy after baking.

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.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: This paste, called a roux, is the foundation for a smooth, thick sauce.

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.
Približno 7 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Adding the milk slowly and whisking continuously prevents lumps from forming.

Drain the cooked pasta well and return it to the empty pot.

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.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: The residual heat from the pasta will help start melting the cheeses.

Stir in the chopped green olives from the pasta mix.

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