Think of a grown-up version of macaroni cheese, the ultimate decadent comfort food. We used mascarpone, taleggio, provolone and parmesan, but you can use almost any cheese you like - cheddar, edam, gruyere, ricotta or romano, to name a few. Just make sure you pick a range of textures and flavours, and cut all the rind off the cheeses you choose.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4 to 6
Prep time 10 mins
Cooking time 8 to 10 mins
Equipment Small and large saucepans; colander; large metal mixing bowl; silicon spatula; tongs

Salt
500g tagliatelle
2/3 cup medium-bodied white wine, such as semillon
250g mascarpone cheese
100g taleggio cheese, rind removed
100g provolone cheese, grated
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup finely grated parmesan
Salad leaves, to serve

METHOD

1. Bring large saucepan of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 10 mins.

2. Meanwhile, bring wine to boil in small saucepan over high heat. Boil for 3 mins or until reduced by half. Reduce heat to low, add mascarpone, taleggio, provolone and nutmeg, stirring continuously until cheeses have melted and formed a sauce. This should take about 5 mins.

3. Drain pasta and toss with sauce in bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with parmesan cheese and serve with a simple green salad.
