Steps:
- Pour the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre, crack the eggs into the well and mix everything together with a spoon or fork.
- When the mixture has combined, knead the dough for 5 minutes. Form it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is in the fridge, mix together the ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, parsley and a sprinkling of salt and pepper to make the filling. Set aside until needed.
- On a floured surface, roll half of the dough out as thin as you can using a rolling pin to make a long rectangular shape (If you have a pasta machine, use the 2nd thinnest setting) - keep the other half of the dough in cling film in the fridge to keep it fresh until you're ready for it.
- On one side, dollop tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the pasta, leaving at least a 1-2cm (⅓-¾ inch) gap in all directions.
- Brush the pasta that's surrounding the filling with water or egg white. Fold the other side of the past over and on top of the filling, pushing down around each part to seal it in, creating a long strip of ravioli pieces.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut around and create individual pieces of ravioli.
- Dust these pieces with flour and repeat from step 4 using the other half of the dough.
- Boil the pasta in salted water on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the pasta floats to the top, then drain.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan then add the pine nuts, cook for 2 minutes then add the rosemary - cook for a further minute or two until the pine nuts look toasted and the rosemary has just begun to brown and crisp up a bit.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil and butter on medium heat in a large skillet, add minced garlic and coo for about 1 minute on medium heat, without burning.
- Cook pasta in a separate pan, drain. Reserve some of cooked pasta water. Dissolve 1 cube of chicken broth bullion in 1 cup of hot pasta water.
- Add pasta water (with the dissolved chicken broth bullion cube in it), heavy cream, and cooked spaghetti to the skillet with cooked garlic. Bring to boil, stirring. Once the liquids are boiling, immediately add cheese and keep stirring everything together (spaghetti and the cream), while boiling, until cheese melts and coats pasta, for about 1 minute. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook, constantly stirring, to thicken the sauce - for another minute or two.
- To serve, top each serving with finely chopped chives, or green onions, or parsley.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 pound tortellini pasta and cook as the label directs, stirring occasionally.
- 2. Melt butter over medium heat; whisk in cream and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. Add cooked, drained pasta and toss, adding up to 1/2 cup pasta water if needed.
- 3. Stir in the four cheeses and add baby spinach. Stir until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses: Combining different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, and fontina, creates a more complex and flavorful sauce.
- Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. Freshly shredded cheese melts more evenly and creates a creamier sauce.
- Use a roux or béchamel sauce as a base: A roux (a mixture of flour and butter) or béchamel sauce (a mixture of milk, butter, and flour) helps to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth consistency.
- Cook the sauce slowly: Over high heat, the sauce is more likely to scorch or curdle. Cook it over low or medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has reached the desired consistency.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as thyme, oregano, or basil, for extra flavor.
- Serve the sauce immediately: Four-cheese sauce is best served immediately, as it will thicken as it cools. If you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is warmed through.
Conclusion:
Four-cheese sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes, from pasta and lasagna to pizza and vegetables. By following these tips, you can make a creamy, flavorful sauce that will elevate any dish. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, you'll find that this sauce is easy to make and sure to impress your family and friends.
