Take them out in a strainer and pour cold water over the pasta.
When slightly cool, add some oil to it and toss lightly with hands so that the pasta strips are separated.
In a pan, add oil and saute` the onions.
Add the mushrooms and cook again for 2-3 min.
Add the milk and when it too gets heated, add the cream. Do not let the cream boil.
Add the cornflour dissolved in a little milk. Quickly stir the sauce so that consistency is smooth.
Take off the flame and add salt and black pepper along with 1/4 of the grated cheese and mix well.
Add the chilly sauce and mix again lightly.
In a baking dish, spread a layer of the sauce at the bottom. Add a layer of the cheese and then a layer of pasta. Repeat this sequence once more. Then add another layer of sauce at the top and make the final covering with cheese.
Bake in oven at 250 degrees celsius for 20-25 mins till the cheese gets melted and the top is golden.
