Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the salt and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the spaghetti.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and heat it gently, stirring occasionally, until just warmed through.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Mozzarella, and Gorgonzola cheeses to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss the spaghetti with the cheese sauce until evenly coated.

Step 7

Season with freshly ground black pepper and toss again.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
