- Add more cheese of the flavor you believe that it needs according to your preferences.
- Add more cream if it needs it; or if it needs more pasta water, you can also add more at this time.

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta as directed on package.
- 2. In a medium skillet (I use cast iron), brown the beef.
- 3. Add the garlic, onion, mushrooms, salt, and Italian seasoning. Saute on high heat between 5-10 minutes.
- 4. Reduce heat to medium and add the cubed cream cheese. Stir frequently until cream cheese is melted. Keep heat on medium and allow the cheese and meat to cook together for about 5 minutes.
- 5. Add tomato puree. Stir until the tomato is well mixed with the cheese/meat mix. After the sauce is well mixed and well heated, cover and allow to cook at medium temperature for an additional 10-15 minutes. At this point, you do not have to stir constantly, just enough to ensure the sauce and/or meat is not sticking. *Please remember: Many sauces, like marinara sauce, typically pop and splatter during cooking, so be careful not to get burned *
- 6. Reduce heat to low or simmer, and allow to cook an additional 10-15 minutes, still covered.
- 7. Pour over pasta and top with fresh Parmesan cheese. Don't forget the garlic bread! Enjoy.

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.

PASTA FORMAGGIO
This pasta tastes as good as a restaurant. Easy to make, but very rich to eat. I've made this for just my family and also for a party of about 40 people. It gets rave reviews. I originally got this recipe from a cooking class, but I made a couple of changes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then add the wine and cook until evaporated.
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, leaning toward the al dente side. Do not overcook; this will take 1 to 2 minutes!
- Add the cream to the skillet with the mushrooms. Drain the pasta (reserving some of the pasta water) and add the pasta to the mushrooms, along with the fontina, Parmesan, Romano, goat cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Stir gently to combine, adding hot pasta water as needed for consistency. Don't overmix; if there are little clumps of cheese here and there, it's fine! Taste and add more salt if needed. The mixing stage should happen very quickly.
- Turn the pasta out into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place yeast in a small bowl, add 1/2 cup warm water, mix well and add 1 cup flour. Mix briefly to make a rough dough. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise 1 hour, until doubled.
- Beat 2 eggs in a small bowl. Mix in 4 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano, all the pecorino and the pepper. Place remaining 2 cups flour in a large bowl, whisk in salt and make a well in the center. Add 2 tablespoons oil and work oil into flour with your fingertips until mixture is crumbly. Add risen yeast mixture, the egg mixture and 1/2 cup warm water. Knead briefly to make a sticky dough.
- Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead about 2 minutes, adding flour sparingly as needed to make a soft dough. Cover with an inverted bowl for 15 minutes. Knead another 2 to 3 minutes until dough is soft and elastic. Stretch dough into a rectangle about 10 by 15 inches. Scatter diced cheeses evenly over surface. Fold one-third of dough, from the long side, over the cheese, then fold again to make a long, narrow envelope. Fold short ends over in thirds to make a square. Shape gently into a ball.
- Use a 7-inch-deep panettone mold, a 9-inch baking pan or an oven-proof paper panettone mold. Grease metal pan, but not paper mold, if using, with remaining oil. Fit ball of dough into pan, lightly pressing it to fill pan. Cover loosely with paper towel and set aside to rise until doubled and somewhat above edge of pan, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and brush on dough. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese, placing it in a cross shape if desired. Bake 20 minutes (paper mold should be placed on a baking sheet). Lower heat to 350 degrees and bake 30 to 35 minutes more, until golden. Remove from pan, but not from paper mold, and let cool on a rack at least 30 minutes before cutting. Cheese flavor will become more pronounced if bread is kept wrapped for 6 or more hours or overnight.
