Four-Cheese Pasta
Quattro formaggi (four-cheese) pasta is rich, tasty, and aromatic. My family loves a good plate of noodles, and since "pasta" sounds a little fancier than "noodles" these days, we'll be making a dish called four-cheese pasta. It's simple and delicious, and it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to make. You can tease the family with the news: a fantastic dinner in half an hour! Time to set the table.
The cheeses listed are the most common ones for this pasta. If you can't find one of them in the fridge, swap in another cheese — just make sure blue cheese (Gorgonzola) stays as the base, since it's what gives the dish its flavor and aroma. Kids love this pasta, too.
