First of all, asking me to pick which is my favorite recipe using cheese is like asking me to pick a favorite child. I love them all for their own reasons. The best I can do is narrow it down to my favorite app and favorite pasta dish.
Favorite app is the Kraft Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Dip
My favorite pasta dish is tortellini alfredo, because it super easy, and very filling.
1 lb of tortellini
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup shredded parmesan - the good stuff, not the powdered or preshredded stuff (no offense Kraft but it just doesn't melt as well)
3-4 slices prosciutto, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas (thawed)
Make tortellini according to package directions. Combine cream, butter and parmesan in a pan, warm over medium heat stirring occasionally until well blended. Reduce heat to low. Add the prosciutto and peas, stir some more to combine. Once pasta is finished drain and add to the pan. Mix the pasta in until well covered. Serve with a little more shredded parmesan on top.
One tip: the sauce is smoother if the ingredients are at room temperature before you start. For me that just means, getting the cheese, cream, and butter out at the same time you start the water boiling for the pasta.
Tip: the cheese melts better and the sauce combines better if the ingredients are at room temperature before cooking.
Makes about 4 servings
Ok, that sounds really good!
