Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine
- 8 oz Rondele cheese (garlic & herb flavor)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the linguine and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the Rondele cheese and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and combined with the cream to form a smooth, creamy sauce, about 3 minutes.
Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or grated Parmesan if desired.
