Emeril's Kicked Up Pasta with Four Cheeses

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2003


Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, cook the pancetta until the fat is rendered and browned. Remove and drain on
paper towels. Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until soft and
fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine, increase the heat, and stir to deglaze the pan. Cook until reduced to
1 tablespoon. Add the cream and cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat and add the
cheeses 1 at a time, stirring after each addition. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth. Adjust the
seasoning, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and toss to coat evenly. Stir in the pancetta.

Transfer to a hollowed cheese wheel or large serving bowl. Top with freshly ground black pepper and parsley.
Serve immediately.
