Four Cheese Spaghetti
AMAZINGLY creamy and so velvety with 4 different types of cheeses here! It’s quick/easy and perfect for company too!
Let me just start by saying this.
We are not counting calories when we make this dish. We just can’t.
The only task involved here is to add in your butter, the four cheeses, and plenty of garlic.
So no. Calories DO NOT count here.
I mean, you can always throw in some kale or spinach but……
Let’s just enjoy this while it lasts.
Because summer is slowly coming to an end and sweater season is right around the corner.
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk, or more, as needed
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded fontina cheese
- ¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in milk, heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in cheeses until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and chives, if desired.
