    Today I am showing you a recipe which is super easy to make and my family loves it a lot still I hardly made it at home because it involved using 4 variety of exotic cheeses and with a cheese-loving family like mine, it hardly happens in my home that all four kinds of cheese were there. 

    The other day I found this Go cheese four cheese blend that solved the problem instantly because it is a blend of 4 cheese which can be used in creating restaurant classics like four cheese pizza or innovative dishes like our very own 4 cheese paratha.

    This Four Cheese Pasta Recipe is

    • Easy to make. 
    • Very few and easy ingredients required. you can find most ingredients in any pantry.
    • You can use a store-bought 4 cheese blend as I did.
    • You can make your own four cheese blend as per your taste.
    • The white cheese sauce is thick and it is so versatile that you can use it in any type of pasta.

    Ingredients Required

    You need very few easily available ingredients to make this white sauce pasta dish. 

    Pasta: Spaghetti, fusilli, penne or any other pasta. 

    For Roux: You can use Butter or Olive oil or a mix of both to make this white cheese sauce. But personally I like to use only butter. All Purpose flour and milk.

    Herbs & Seasoning: garlic, parsley, Mixed Italian seasoning, black pepper and salt

    For making Cheese sauce: full fat Cream and a mix of cheeses.

    Four Cheese Sauce 

    This Italian style four-cheese sauce is made using four variety of cheeses. Has a creamy texture and packed with the flavour of garlic and herbs. In this post, I am talking about various cheeses you can use to make this white cheese sauce. Also, which type of pasta works better in this white sauce. 

    What Cheeses to Use for White Sauce in Four Cheese pasta?

    Four Cheese (Quattro formaggi) is a mix of any four types of cheeses. Usually it is provolone, cheddar, pecorino cheese, asiago, gruyere or fontina etc. But make sure they are all similar types. For white sauce pasta, a mix of hard or aged cheeses works fine.

    Which Type of Pasta to Use?

    You can use any pasta shape because white cheese sauce is thick and it sticks on any pasta shape. Penne, farfalle, shells gnocchi or spaghetti all work well with this four-cheese sauce.

    How to Make Thick Cheese Sauce?

    Milk and Roux form the base of this white cheese sauce. Making Roux is a simple process which I have shared in the steps below.

    How to Make Roux for White Sauce?

    A roux is a slow-roasted mixture of fat and flour. All-purpose flour is slowly roasted in the butter to a consistency of the wet and lumpy sandy mixture. Then you add the milk slowly while whisking it and a smooth and silky white sauce is formed.

    For making White cream pasta sauce you add cheese or a mix of cheeses as per your choice and a silky smooth white cheese sauce is ready to be used.
