Fettuccine Quatro Formaggi Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then add the wine and cook until evaporated.
• Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, leaning toward the al dente side. Do not overcook; this will take 1 to 2 minutes!
• Add the cream to the skillet with the mushrooms. Drain the pasta (reserving some of the pasta water) and add the pasta to the mushrooms, along with the fontina, Parmesan, Romano, goat cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Stir gently to combine, adding hot pasta water as needed for consistency. Don't overmix; if there are little clumps of cheese here and there, it's fine! Taste and add more salt if needed. The mixing stage should happen very quickly.
• Turn the pasta out into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.
• Meanwhile, combine cream and next 6 ingredients in heavy large sauce-pan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture simmers and is smooth.
• Drain pasta; return to same pot. Add cream sauce and Parmesan to pasta; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the top shelf. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat the milk in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cheeses to the hot milk and start melting. With a wooden spoon, stir gently but continuously, until all the cheeses are melted together.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the directions on the box, and, as always, to make sure you achieve a proper "al dente" texture, drain it about 2 minutes before what is indicated.
• Toss the penne and the cheese sauce together, season with salt and a generous amount of ground black pepper. Divide the penne between ten 6-ounce ramekins. Top with a light sprinkling of breadcrumbs and a grating of Parmesan.
• Turn the broiler on high and broil until golden and crisp on top, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Shred all of the cheeses but the;marscarpone and toss them together in a bowl. Set aside.
• In a pan, melt about a 1/2 stick of butter and then pour in the light cream and bring to a boil.
• When the cream is beginning to boil, slowly mix in the marscarpone. After it has melted, slowly add the other cheeses giving them time to melt and blend into the cream.
• The sauce will be ready when all the cheese has been mixed in and it comes to a boil again. If the cheese precipitates out of solution, then cool and add extra mascarpone.
• If you are not an idiot, you should have been making the pasta all along and it should now be ready to serve with the cheese sauce over it. If, at this point, you still need instructions about that sort of thing, pass this book on to someone with half a brain.
• Serves two: a man with a future and a woman without a past.

Steps:

• Combine Parmesan and parsley in work bowl of processor.
• Chop using ON/OFF turns, then process until cheese is finely minced.
• Combine with grated Kefalotiri and Fontina.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add cream and Gorgonzola and cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is completely melted.
• Add hot pasta and toss gently to coat.
• Reduce heat to low and cook 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Add parsley/cheese mixture with nutmeg, pepper and salt to taste (if needed), tossing gently until all cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Boil the pasta in approx. 3 liters of salted water (10g of salt for each liter of water).
• While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large pan and add all the cheeses, keeping on a very gentle heat until they melt completely. Add the milk and stir continiously to keep the cheeses smooth.
• Drain the pasta keeping some of the cooking water aside. Toss the penne into the pan with the melted cheeses and mix very well. Finally, add the grated Parmesan and mix one more time. Use some of the cooking water you set aside if you think you ended up with a bit too dry result. Serve warm and sprinkle with black pepper, if you like it.
