Pasta with cheese sauce

INGREDIENTS

  • penne
  • salt for seasoning the pasta water
  • oil (for cooking the pasta)
  • 100 to 200 ml of milk
  • 1 blue cheese Niva
  • 1 and 1/2 processed cheese
  • 1 to 2 cloves of garlic
  • a handful of parsley
  • 50 g of hard cheese (Edam or Gouda)
  • a piece of Parmesan cheese (3 cm piece)
  • 1 cooking cream
  • a tablespoon of all-purpose flour for thickening (optional, only if the sauce is too thin)
  • remaining cheese (optional)
  • black pepper
  • a pinch of turmeric
  • a teaspoon of basil
  • a pinch of oregano

METHOD

  1. We prepare a dough from flour, eggs, salt, and lukewarm water, which we roll out into a thin sheet. We cut it into strips, either smaller or larger, depending on preference; some people tear them to avoid a completely uniform appearance.
  2. We place them in salted boiling water and let them simmer until they float to the surface.
  3. Meanwhile, slice and fry the bacon and cook the potatoes into small pieces.
  4. We drain the torn pasta and transfer them to a bowl, drizzling with the bacon drippings. Then, we add bryndza and can also garnish with spring onions or add sour cream.
