Pasta Formaggio Regazzoni Recipes

PASTA QUATTRO FORMAGGI

Steps:

• Bring tall pot of water to a rolling boil, add penne pasta and 4 Tbsp. salt.
• Cook pasta for 5 minutes, until 'al dente'.
• Heat a stove burner to medium-low.
• In a large sauce pan, pour olive oil and add minced garlic; saute' garlic for about 2 minutes.
• Add the heavy cream and all cheeses; do not use a very hot burner or everything will burn.
• Add nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• When pasta is finished cooking (after about 5 minutes), take a hand strainer to dip into the pasta water and strain pasta over the pot (much faster this way).
• Put drained pasta in the sauce pan full of hot cheese sauce.
• Add about a ladle-ful of pasta water to the pasta and cheese mixture.
• Taste!
• Add more cheese of the flavor you believe that it needs according to your preferences.
• Add more cream if it needs it; or if it needs more pasta water, you can also add more at this time.
• Pour the creamy pasta onto a large pasta platter.
• Garnish with minced Italian parsley.
• Serve immediately while the pasta and sauce is hot.

PASTA AI QUATTRO FORMAGGI

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.

PENNE AI QUATTRO FORMAGGI (MAC 'N' CHEESE)

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the top shelf. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

• 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.
