Cheese Pasta Side Dish Recipes
Cheesy Pasta is one of the worlds greatest comfort foods and this four cheese version is ready in 15 minutes, as you make the simple sauce whilst the pasta cooks. So much better than boxed pasta.
This is one of those dishes that is great on its own or as a side next to some grilled chicken, a juicy steak, or with some roasted mushrooms.
You can use a combination of any four kinds of cheese. We have suggested some provolone, cheddar, pecorino cheese, and asiago. But you can easily substitute in some parmesan, mozzarella, Colby or monetary jack.
Homemade Broccoli Shells And Cheese
This cheese sauce is milk based and then thickened with a roux. Don’t worry about this, it sounds more daunting than it is.
A roux is just a mixture of fat and flour. Here we use melted butter. When making a roux make sure the flour has been stirred well into the melted butter. The mixture will look like lumpy wet sand before you slowly whisk in the milk. Add the milk slowly and you will be rewarded with a silky smooth sauce.
Side: This creamy four cheese pasta makes a great side dish. We would suggest serving this with a seared steak (or large mushroom) and an arugula salad. Dress the salad simply with some extra virgin olive oil and shave over a little pecorino or parmesan.

Wine: This cheese pasta is perfect for pairing with a variety of wines. Try crisp dry whites such as Verdicchio or Soave to cut through the richness. Or pick a light unoaked Chardonnay to enhance the rich butteriness.

This little garlic butter noodle side dish was born out of lack of planning, necessity and a craving. You know those little packages of noodles by Lipton?

So, one night I was totally craving some of those noodles and I went to grab the package. I dug, and dug, and dug but it wasn’t there. I was about to cry. Really it wasn’t a huge deal and we would survive without it, but once I get something into my head, I want it. Now. This was one of those times.
Then I got to thinking that garlic butter noodles really wouldn’t be that hard to make from scratch, would it? I went with “No” and then I thought making it would probably be a lot better with a whole lot fewer preservatives and weird stuff. I mean what is that powder in there?
Pretty sure these homemade Garlic Butter Noodles are better and I never need to go back to those little packets of noodles! Isn’t it fun when you do something like this in a panic and it really works out way better in the end anyways?
