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.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
12 garlic cloves, minced

  • notes
  • Great for freezing! See our Freezer Tips on pages 23-27.
  • Vegetarian friendly!
  • End up with extra Gorgonzola? Put it to good use! Sandy loves to stuff it into a fresh fig, then wrap the fig in a very thin slice of prosciutto. Voilà! A sophisticated garnish for a salad or an easy appetizer for your next cocktail party.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the spaghetti so it has plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Salt the water generously when cooking the spaghetti. This will help flavor the noodles and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture when you add the sauce.
  • While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat to prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the sauce for a richer flavor. A good combination includes Parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, and fontina.
  • Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it well and add it to the cheese sauce. Stir until the spaghetti is evenly coated with sauce.
  • Serve the spaghetti with additional grated Parmesan cheese on top, if desired.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with four cheeses is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will enjoy.
