Cook, without stirring, until reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Add milk, water, mustard and Old Bay; stir until fully combined. Add rotini and cook, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce. Gradually fold in Gouda, Cheddar and Parmesan, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until completely melted after each addition. Fold in crab and return to medium heat; cook, stirring often, until the crab is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with chives, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
