Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cups Pasta water (reserved)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the saucepan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let them burn.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the cheeses (Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Fontina, and Mozzarella) one at a time. Stir thoroughly after each addition until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. The starch in the water will help the sauce cling to the pasta.

Step 7

Toss the cooked pasta of your choice with the Quattro Formaggio Sauce until evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
