Creamy pasta with three-month Stavsfjell
Stavsfjell aged for three months is mild and melts well, so it suits a creamy sauce. The dish is on our list of main courses for parties, but it is just as good on an ordinary weekday.
- Serves
- 4 people
- Time
- 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 400 g pasta, such as tagliatelle
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 dl cream
- 150 g Stavsfjell 3 months, grated
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Fresh parsley
Method
- Cook the pasta in lightly salted water. Save a cup of the cooking water before you drain it.
- Melt the butter in a pan and soften the garlic without letting it colour.
- Pour in the cream and let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the cheese a little at a time, until the sauce is smooth.
- Toss in the pasta and loosen with a little cooking water if the sauce is too thick. Season with salt and pepper and scatter over parsley.
Tip
Take the pan off the heat before the cheese goes in. If the sauce boils with the cheese in it, it can turn grainy.
