Four cheese pasta is truly incredible, if not a bit decadent. As you’ll discover, this sauce is incredibly easy to make. We’ve selected gorgonzola, mozzarella, Fontina and Parmigiano Reggiano as our four cheeses for this sauce. However, feel free to select your four favourite cheeses! Just be sure that they’ll melt well and that their individual flavours will compliment each other.
For your pasta, select your favourite shape. As this is a creamy sauce, it’s sure to coat whatever pasta you choose pair with it. You could even try gnocchi for a very creamy and decadent dish. Check out our guide on making your own gnocchi at home. Finally, we like to top with an extra freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano - e buon appetito!
