Cheeses

Pasta and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    While the pasta is cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  2. 4

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Cheeses

    Gradually add the mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, and fontina cheeses to the skillet. Stir until all the cheeses melt and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

Combining the Dish

  1. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil leaves on top. Enjoy your delicious 4 Formaggi pasta!
