Pasta ai Quattro Formaggi

Level: Easy
Total: 25 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. Salt
  2. 1 tablespoon salted butter
  3. 12 white button mushrooms, very thinly sliced
  4. 1 clove garlic, grated
  5. 1/2 cup white wine
  6. 1 pound angel hair pasta
  7. 1 cup heavy cream
  8. 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
  9. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  10. 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  11. 1/2 cup goat cheese (chevre)
  12. Freshly ground black pepper
  13. Minced fresh parsley, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then add the wine and cook until evaporated.
  3. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, leaning toward the al dente side. Do not overcook; this will take 1 to 2 minutes!
  4. Add the cream to the skillet with the mushrooms. Drain the pasta (reserving some of the pasta water) and add the pasta to the mushrooms, along with the fontina, Parmesan, Romano, goat cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Stir gently to combine, adding hot pasta water as needed for consistency. Don’t overmix; if there are little clumps of cheese here and there, it’s fine! Taste and add more salt if needed. The mixing stage should happen very quickly.
  5. Turn the pasta out into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Yummy recipe but I wish the Nutritional information was clearer. The recipe is for 8 servings and the Nutritional Value says 1 of 14.
So is the 14 a typo or are they trying make us think this has fewer calories per serving than it does? Makes the difference between 272 calories, which seems quite low or 476 calories.
I just did the math: (272 x 14)/8) = 476.

I give the actual dish 5 stars and the information only 2 stars.

Love this recipe! We doubled the cheeses and mushrooms. It’s a regular dish at our house.

I substituted stock for the white wine and coconut cream for the heavy cream. It came out really delicious. I added some salad shrimps and definitely will be making again.

It’s better with some kind of protein cooked in a separate skillet (e.g. popcorn shrimp, small diced chicken breast, baby clams [as long as it’s white]) added to mushroom sauce before adding the pasta.

Love your recipes but would appreciate knowing the calories in them.  That would help me stay on track.  Thanks so much.

This is so easy to make and delicious!  I ran to my local walmart and they did not have fontina or romano in stock…Oh no!  Don’t fret, I picked up parmasean, goat cheese and  a bag of “Great Value” brand Italian Style cheese finely shredded cheese.  The bag  included (Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fonatina and Asiago)  More cheese than the recipe called for so I used the exact amount of the parmasan and goat cheese as the recipe called for and I used one cup…maybe a little more of the Italian Style shredded cheese.  Followed her steps and WOW, it was delicious.  It was so good, my boyfriend wanted to eat the same thing the next night.  At least all my cheese won’t go to waste!  So easy and delicious.
