Another quick & simple recipe!
Ingredients for 2 people!

250g penne rigate, or spiragli
100ml milk,
30ml creme fraiche, or pure cream
Salt & black pepper to taste
Optional: Nutmeg (only if you grate it yourself)

The cheeses I like: (you can use others as listed at the end of this recipe)
1. 40g Emmental
2. 40g Taleggio
3. 40g Gorgonzola dolce

While waiting for pasta to cook in plenty of salted water:

Cut soft cheese into cubes, grate harder cheese
Mix milk, cream & all the cheese into a large saucepan
Cook (warm up) at extremely low temperature until all cheeses have melted
Season with salt, pepper & optional grated nutmeg.

Drain the pasta al dente & add it to the sauce.

Buon appetito!
