Pasta with Four Cheeses
- 8 ounces vermicelli noodles
- Small piece sharp white cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup diced)
- Small piece of brie cheese (about 1/4 cup diced)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- Garnish: Finely sliced fresh chives or scallion, freshly ground pepper to taste
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add noodles and cook until done about 6 to 7 minutes or according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, finely dice your cheddar and brie into 1/4-inch cubes.
- Combine the cheeses with the white wine and ricotta in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave proof container that is large enough to accommodate the cooked pasta.
- If you are using a double boiler, melt the cheese while the pasta is cooking, if you are using a microwave you can wait until the pasta is done.
- When the pasta is done, drain, pat dry, and toss it with the melted cheese.
- Or is you are using a microwave oven, heat the cheese for 1 minute.
- Whisk it vigorously and return it to the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Add the drained pasta to the melted cheese, right in the microwave dish, and toss.
- Season with lots of freshly ground pepper and scallion.
