Macaroni and Blue Cheese with Chives 

    1 pound spiral tube-shaped pasta
    2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
    1/4 cup all purpose flour
    2 cups whole milk
    1 cup whipping cream
    3 cups grated cheddar cheese
    1 1/2 cups crumbled blue cheese
    1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

  Preheat oven to 350F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook
 pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still
 firm to bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat.
 Add flour. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly (do not allow to
 brown). Gradually whisk in milk and cream. Simmer until mixture
 thickens slightly, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes. Reduce
 heat to low. Add grated cheddar cheese and 1 cup crumbled blue
 cheese. Whisk until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Season sauce to
 taste with salt and pepper.
  Add cooked pasta to sauce; stir to coat. Transfer mixture to
 prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese.
 Bake until sauce begins to bubble, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with
 chives and serve.
