‘- Preheat the oven to 230 ºC.
– Boil 4 litres of water in a large pan. Add one spoonful of salt and add all the pasta at once. Stir well.
– Heat the butter and cream (or pour two spoonfuls of olive oil) in a frying pan on a low heat. Stir until the butter melts and add all the cheeses except for 2 spoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix together until the cheeses form a creamy mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Take off the heat and put to one side.
– When the pasta is al dente, strain and pour into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with the sauce.
– Spoon into individual ovenproof dishes or one dish large enough to ensure the layer of pasta is less than 4 cm thick.
– Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese on top and bake for 10–15 min until golden brown.
– Take out of the oven, leave for 5 min and serve.
