Cream and cheese pasta dishes

Creamy pasta is not one single texture or one fixed set of ingredients. Alfredo centres butter and Parmigiano, quattro formaggi lets several cheeses speak, and other dishes use a dairy-based sauce to carry mushrooms or seafood. Choose by the job the dairy is doing.

Choose how the dairy leads

Cheese first
Choose quattro formaggi for a blend of cheeses, or pasta alla cenere for Gorgonzola with black olives.
A simpler base
Alfredo centres on a simple combination of butter and Parmigiano.
With a main ingredient
Shrimp, salmon, sea urchin, and mushrooms each give a creamy sauce a different centre of gravity.
