Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound rigatoni
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 3/4 cups warm whole milk, warmed
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1/2 cup (2 ounces) finely chopped Raclette
2 cups (8 ounces) grated Gruyere
2 cups (4 ounces) grated Emmentaler
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Boil pasta in a medium pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than per package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
  • Return empty pot to medium heat and add butter. When butter melts and foams, add flour and whisk until darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mustard powder and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in milk and vermouth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cheese in 3 batches, starting with Raclette. Follow with Gruyere and Emmentaler. Whisk to fully combine after adding each cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add pasta, stir to coat, and serve, sprinkled with parsley and more pepper.

SWISS FONDUE



Swiss Fondue image

My husband grew up in Switzerland and it's there where I truly began to appreciate fondue. There are many variations of fondue in Switzerland, but this is the most common version. I love the ritual and it's so fun (and easy!) for entertaining. If you can get your hands on it, a splash of kirsch just before serving really gives fondue a fortifying kick.

2 ½ cups shredded Emmental cheese
2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 (8 inch) French bread, cubed
1 pound new potatoes, raw; baby potatoes
1 cup cornichons, finely chopped
1 cup pickled pearl onions
