Pasta with Cheese
Ingredients: 300 g bow tie pasta - a cube of butter - 2 tablespoons sour cream - creamy cheese (of your choice) - grated Parmigiano Reggiano to sprinkle on top of the pasta
To create a delicious and creamy cheese pasta recipe, we will start by preparing the ingredients. Make sure you have your favorite cheese available, whether it is cottage cheese, feta, or parmesan, all bring a unique flavor. I also recommend using quality butter, which will add a rich and smooth note to the composition. The sour cream should be fresh, as it will contribute to the creaminess and balance the salty taste of the cheese.
Start by putting the cheese, butter, and sour cream in a large bowl. Here, the secret is to use a fork or a whisk to mix the ingredients so that they combine perfectly. Gradually add 5-7 tablespoons of the water from the boiled pasta. This will not only help to dilute the composition but will also add a subtle flavor from the boiled pasta. Continue mixing until you achieve a homogeneous and creamy composition that is not too liquid.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it starts to boil, add the pasta. Choose the type of pasta you prefer – spaghetti, penne, or fusilli – but make sure to cook them according to the instructions on the package until they become al dente. This step is essential to achieve a pleasant texture. Once the pasta is ready, drain it well, but keep a few tablespoons of the boiling water, just like with the cheese composition.
After draining the pasta, add it directly to the bowl with the cheese mixture. Use a spatula or a large spoon to mix the pasta with the composition, making sure to coat them evenly. If you notice that the mixture is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of the reserved pasta water to achieve a creamier consistency.
Once the pasta is well integrated into the creamy sauce, you can serve it immediately. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, which will melt slightly, adding an extra flavor. This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner but also to impress guests. Enjoy your meal!
