  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in fusilli and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
  • Melt margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk until entirely incorporated.
  • Add cheese food, blue cheese, Cheddar, salt, pepper, and mustard; cook and stir continually until cheeses have melted and mixture is thick. Fold in pasta until coated, then pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top begins to brown, about 20 minutes.
