Know Your Cheeses

Gouda

Subtly sweet and slightly nutty, this cheese will add a bit of sophistication to your mac and cheese.

Gruyère

This variety has a slightly nutty flavor, melts well, and will lend a nice saltiness to a recipe.

Goat Cheese We’re talking super creamy here, and it also provides a wonderful tang.

Sharp Cheddar

The most popular cheese for a creamy and delicious dish. Splurge and get an artisan cheese; you’ll be amazed at the taste difference.

Experiment with your basic recipe and try out different cheeses for a flavor boost. But, remember, the main quality of a good cheese for a pasta pairing is that it melts well.
