“Satisfy Your Cravings with this pasta recipe – A Cheese Lover’s Dream Come True”. Get ready to indulge in a rich and creamy pasta dish with Four Cheese Baked Macaroni. Made with a blend of four different cheeses, this baked macaroni is sure to satisfy any cheese lover’s cravings.
Four Cheese Baked Macaroni is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with a combination of four different types of cheese – mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and gouda – that are melted together to create a creamy and cheesy sauce that coats the macaroni noodles.
To prepare the dish, first, the macaroni is cooked according to package instructions until it is al dente. The cooked macaroni is then mixed with a homemade cheese sauce, which is made by melting butter in a saucepan and then adding flour to create a roux. Milk is then added to the roux to create a thick and creamy sauce, which is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The four types of cheese are then added to the sauce and are melted together until they are fully combined. For the cheeses you are free to use any cheese you love, for me I used what was some leftover in my fridge, grated mozzarella which I bought for the pizza we had weeks ago, a truffle infused cheddar and gouda which we did not finish when we had our cheese board and parmesan which is a staple in our kitchen. Feel free to be creative and you will be surprised.
Once the cheese sauce is ready, the cooked macaroni is mixed with tomato pasta sauce with or without meat then once placed on a baking dish it is arranged in layers of pasta and cheese sauce, finishing with cheese sauce on top then more grated mozzarella. The dish is then baked in the oven until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Four Cheese Baked Macaroni is a perfect dish for any occasion and it is perfect for a weeknight dinner, a potluck, or even a holiday meal. It can be served as a main dish or as a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover cheese in the fridge.
The combination of four different types of cheese in this dish creates a unique flavour and texture that is hard to beat. The mozzarella provides a creamy and gooey texture, while the cheddar adds a sharp tangy flavour, and since I used some truffle infused cheddar it gave an additional earthy flavour. The parmesan adds a nutty and salty flavour, and the gouda adds a buttery and rich flavour. Finally the tomato sauce gives a nice sweet, tangy flavour to balance it all up. All these flavours and textures blend together to create a dish that is both comforting and delicious.

You had me at the 4 different kinds of cheeses! I’m a big fan of gouda, and I was happy to see that in here. Did you use a smoked version? The crumbled beef and pork would turn this dish into a main meal, too. This is basically my kind of comfort food! Well done, sir!
What a wonderful baked pasta dish – so rich and comforting! I love that you used four types of cheese – I usually also go with at least two or three different – as it makes the flavour profile more complex. I also often stir in a bit of cream cheese, along with or instead of butter, for the extra smooth and silky consistency. That’s my ultimate comfort food for sure!
