Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 medium garlic clove, lightly smashed
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (depending on how peppery you want it)
3 ounces (85g) rind-free Taleggio, cut into roughly 1-inch chunks (about 1/2 cup)
3 ounces (85g) grated Gruyère or Fontina (about 1 loosely packed cup)
1 1/2 ounces (40g, about 1/2 cup) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
1 pound (450g) dried fusilli, penne, or other short pasta
3 ounces (85g) gorgonzola dolce, broken into roughly 1-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart saucepan, saucier, or other medium pot, combine cream with thyme, garlic, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a flexible spatula to prevent scorching, then remove from heat and let steep 5 minutes. Remove and discard garlic and thyme.
  • Return infused cream to low heat and add Taleggio, whisking constantly until Taleggio is fully melted.
  • Add grated Gruyère (or Fontina) and continue to whisk until fully melted and a smooth sauce forms. Whisk in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente. Using a spider skimmer, transfer pasta to cheese sauce; alternatively, strain pasta in a colander, making sure to first reserve 1 cup (240ml) pasta-cooking water. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) pasta-cooking water to pasta and sauce and, working over medium-low heat, stir gently until pasta is coated in a creamy glaze. If sauce becomes too thick, add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) at a time, to loosen to proper glazing consistency. Season with salt to taste.
  • Remove from heat and stir in gorgonzola; it may completely melt into the sauce, but it's fine (arguably even desirable) if some pieces remain mostly intact.
  • Serve right away, passing more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano at the table.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
4 ounces grated cheddar cheese
4 ounces grated fontina cheese
4 ounces grated gruyere cheese
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon Essence or Creole Seasoning
4 tablespoons butter, plus 2 tablespoons, plus 1 tablespoon
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups half and half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon Emeril's Red Hot Sauce
8 1/2 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or other good-quality parmesan cheese (about 2 cups)
1 pound elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • In a heavy, medium saucepan melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and whisk in the half and half little by little. Cook until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat, season with the salt, pepper, hot sauce and 4 ounces of the grated parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Cover and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt to taste and, while stirring, add the macaroni. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for about 5 minutes, or until macaroni is very al dente (slightly undercooked). Drain in a colander and return the macaroni to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the garlic and stir to combine. Add the bechamel sauce and stir until well combined. Set aside.
  • Using the remaining tablespoon of butter, grease a 3-quart baking dish or casserole and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine 4 ounces of the remaining parmesan cheese, cheddar, fontina and gruyere cheeses. Toss to combine.
  • Place one-third of the macaroni in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the mixed cheeses. Top with another third of the macaroni and another third of the cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining macaroni and cheese mixture. In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, remaining 1/2 ounce of grated parmesan, and the Essence and toss to combine. Sprinkle this over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the macaroni and cheese is bubbly and hot and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces vermicelli noodles
Small piece sharp white cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup diced)
Small piece of brie cheese (about 1/4 cup diced)
1 to 2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
Garnish: Finely sliced fresh chives or scallion, freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add noodles and cook until done about 6 to 7 minutes or according to package directions. Meanwhile, finely dice your cheddar and brie into 1/4-inch cubes. Combine the cheeses with the white wine and ricotta in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave proof container that is large enough to accommodate the cooked pasta. If you are using a double boiler, melt the cheese while the pasta is cooking, if you are using a microwave you can wait until the pasta is done. When the pasta is done, drain, pat dry, and toss it with the melted cheese. Or is you are using a microwave oven, heat the cheese for 1 minute. Whisk it vigorously and return it to the microwave for 20 seconds. Add the drained pasta to the melted cheese, right in the microwave dish, and toss. Season with lots of freshly ground pepper and scallion.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will be. Use freshly grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, and high-quality butter and olive oil.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause the pasta to stick together and cook unevenly.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water. The starchy pasta cooking water can be used to help thicken the sauce. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time. The sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're serving the dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, can be used to garnish the dish and add a pop of flavor.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with Four Cheeses is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, Spaghetti with Four Cheeses is sure to be a hit.
