Creamy Blue Cheese and Onion Macaroni and Cheese
- 250 g pasta (I used cavatelli, but macaroni or penne would be great, too)
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 200 g non-fat non-dairy creamer (I used a rice cream, but regular should be fine) or 200 g cream (I used a rice cream, but regular should be fine)

- 18 teaspoon chili powder
- 50 g parmesan cheese, grated

- Boil pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain, reserving 6 tablespoons of the water and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan and saute onion in it until lightly browned.
- Add cream, cream cheese and blue cheese.
- Stir until cheese has melted.
- Add the 6 tablespoons of reserved pasta water.
- Season with nutmeg, sage, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and chili powder.
- You may adjust seasonings to taste.

- Sprinkle with gouda and parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius/350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and nicely browned.
