Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Cream and Cheeses

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the gouda, fontina, and chevré cheeses, stirring until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  3. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Stir in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Combine

  1. 5

    Mix Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat to allow the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Quattro Formaggio immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
