TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE: Four Cheese Penne Pasta recipe is actually the original recipe for Four Cheese Pasta. I have no idea why, since you can use any sort of short pasta, as far as you have some kind of pasta that can hold inside the right amount of cream. It has probably something to do with the amount of actual PASTA. Macaroni are a bit thicker, so maybe the pasta retro-flavour might be a bit too strong. Penne, are just right.

June 06, 2020 The cheese sauce didn't end up homogeneous because I could not wait, the smell was too strong and decided to mix everything rightaway. I know I crewed it up but it was too much for me. Loved it. Thank you for this. |
