Cheese and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped fresh tomatoes and cook down for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheeses

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, and ricotta cheese. Mix well until combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quattro Formaggi

    Spread the marinara sauce evenly on a pizza base or baking dish. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the sauce. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake the Quattro Formaggi for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
