Worthy of a last meal

Ingredients: 3 pounds assorted cheese, making sure that Gruyere figures in there somewhere. 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream, same qty. milk.  1 T. butter.  Lots of pepper.  4 heaping T. garlic.  Orecchiette pasta 1 16 oz box.

Pour into large skillet 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream and equal parts milk. Heat on low.  Chop all cheese and add in (starting with softest) bit by bit, whisking continuously until all the cheese is added– except reserve 1/2 C cheese for garnish.

Boil water and drop in oriechetti pasta. Cook until al dente, drain and rinse with cold water immediately.

Combine sauce and pasta. You’ll have about 1 C too much sauce–great for breadsticks, rice, peanut butter sandwiches—okay, forget the last one.

Preheat oven to 450. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 15 minutes.

Try to stop eating. I DARE YOU!

    That looks totally yummy! Where did you find the recipe and what in the heck is oriechetti pasta? Do you have to buy it at a specialty store? I tried a google search, but nothing turned up.

    Thank you for the sweet thoughts on a possible Etsy shop. I need to make several things first, and if/when I do, you’ll be the first to know!

    Blessings, you sassy gal!

    Orecchiette pasta is also called lambs ear pasta because it is shaped like little tender ears. It’s one of the best for holding sauce without getting mushy, and one of my favs! They should have it at any grocery store…just look for it in a box!
