BAKED FOUR-CHEESE PASTA



Baked Four-Cheese Pasta image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Cheese     Pasta     Appetizer     Bake     Cocktail Party     Vegetarian     Simmer

Yield makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray
1 (16-ounce) box ziti or any other tube-shaped pasta
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
12 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (6 ounces)
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (4 ounces)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (8 ounces)
1 cup shredded fontina cheese (4 ounces)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and put it in the prepared casserole dish. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until just soft, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and cook for about 4 more minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken slightly. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, Gorgonzola, mozzarella, and fontina cheeses, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the cheese mixture over the pasta. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly. Remove from the oven and stir to make sure the cheese and pasta are thoroughly combined.
  • 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.

  • Preheat oven to Broil. Cook pasta per package instructions and only cook to the al-dente level. You want a little spring in your pasta.
  • In a medium sized sauce pot on top of the stove over medium heat, melt the one stick of butter. Allow the garlic to be in the sauce pan while the butter melts. When the butter starts to bubble a little - allow it to bubble for a minute before adding any other ingredients. Once the butter has bubbled for a minute, you may add all of the other cheeses and the cream all at once. Stir frequently until all of the cheese melts. It will take a while for the cream cheese to melt - just be patient, it will get there. Stir often so that cheese do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. The melted cheese should be the consistency of a thick egg nog. If you are finding that it is too thick, add a little more cream or you can substitute milk.
  • By the time the cheeses are melted well, the pasta should be done. Drain the pasta and take the cheese off of the burner. Place single servings of the pasta into individual sized baking dishes or into large ramekins. Pour the sauce over the noodles so that each dish receives an equal amount of cheese. Use a fork and move the noodles around to ensure that the sauce coats all of the noodles. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top and place in the oven under broil. Allow to broil for a minute or two until the top becomes slightly brown and bubbly. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with a crusty italian style garlic bread and a fresh green salad. You may garnish with green onion or parsley.
