Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 medium garlic clove, lightly smashed
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (depending on how peppery you want it)
3 ounces (85g) rind-free Taleggio, cut into roughly 1-inch chunks (about 1/2 cup)
3 ounces (85g) grated Gruyère or Fontina (about 1 loosely packed cup)
1 1/2 ounces (40g, about 1/2 cup) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
1 pound (450g) dried fusilli, penne, or other short pasta
3 ounces (85g) gorgonzola dolce, broken into roughly 1-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart saucepan, saucier, or other medium pot, combine cream with thyme, garlic, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a flexible spatula to prevent scorching, then remove from heat and let steep 5 minutes. Remove and discard garlic and thyme.
  • Return infused cream to low heat and add Taleggio, whisking constantly until Taleggio is fully melted.
  • Add grated Gruyère (or Fontina) and continue to whisk until fully melted and a smooth sauce forms. Whisk in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente. Using a spider skimmer, transfer pasta to cheese sauce; alternatively, strain pasta in a colander, making sure to first reserve 1 cup (240ml) pasta-cooking water. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) pasta-cooking water to pasta and sauce and, working over medium-low heat, stir gently until pasta is coated in a creamy glaze. If sauce becomes too thick, add more pasta water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) at a time, to loosen to proper glazing consistency. Season with salt to taste.
  • Remove from heat and stir in gorgonzola; it may completely melt into the sauce, but it's fine (arguably even desirable) if some pieces remain mostly intact.
  • Serve right away, passing more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano at the table.
