5-CHEESE PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli and cook for 1 to 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the grease from the skillet. Add the thyme, onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream and heat until bubbly, 30 seconds. Gradually add the fontina, Cheddar, Romano and Gruyère in handfuls, letting each combine with the cream before adding the next.
• Add the pasta to the skillet along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together, thinning with the reserved pasta water if needed. Divide the pasta into 8-ounce individual gratin dishes (or 1 flameproof casserole dish) and set on a baking sheet. Divide the mozzarella pearls over the top of the pasta.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to broil.
• Broil on the center rack until the mozzarella pearls are brown and the pasta is bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and garnish with the cooked bacon and sliced scallion greens.
