FONTINA AND MASCARPONE MAC N" CHEESE
Mac n" Cheese made different in that it uses Fontina and Marscarpone cheese. I have adapted this recipe which was loosley based on a recipe from Cooking Light. Since I always have Marscarpone floating around, it was a given that I would try this recipe. The soft fontina problem can be solved easily by placing the fontina in the freezer for a half hour. Fontina definately comes from the smelly cheese family . Some options: You can add more nutmeg and tabasco for more of a kick...add some parmesan cheese for part of the other cheese....adding some ham. I always seem to have whipping cream or half and half around...I would finish this up and top it with the 1% milk. (definately takes the recipe out of the "light" catagory!!) Marscarpone cheese too expensive? Try Recipe #66077. I always cook my pasta using Recipe #30358.
