Creamy Baked Fettuccine with Asiago and Thyme
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 pound fettuccine pasta
2 cups grated Asiago cheese, plus 1/4 cup
2 (8-ounce) containers creme fraiche
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but
still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1 cup of
the pasta cooking liquid.

In a large bowl combine the 2 cups Aiago cheese, creme fraiche, Parmesan, thyme, salt, pepper,
cooked pasta, and pasta cooking liquid. Gently toss until all the ingredients are combined and the
pasta is coated. Place the pasta in a buttered baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup
asiago cheese. Bake until golden on top, about 25 minutes. Let sit for at least 5 minutes and
serve.
