Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To make spaghetti with cream cheese sauce, you will need: butter, egg (yolk), milk, hard cheese, flour, salt, pepper, cream and spaghetti.
Step 2:
Melt butter in a frying pan.
Step 3:
Add flour and immediately mix thoroughly so that lumps do not form. You can add flour in parts and stir in parallel. Then the risk of lumps will be minimized.
Step 4:
Pour the milk into the pan in parts. Add salt and pepper to the sauce to taste. Boil for about five minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken.
Step 5:
Boil water for spaghetti in a saucepan. Boil the pasta until cooked, according to the instructions. Add salt at the end. For this recipe, I cooked spaghetti for six minutes after re-boiling the water. That is, two minutes less than the time indicated on the package. If everything is done correctly, the pasta will be ready at the same time as the sauce.
Step 6:
Separate the yolk from the protein. Protein will not be needed. Beat the yolk lightly with a fork. Then add the cream and mix the mixture again.
Step 7:
Add the cream and yolk to the pan. Mix it up.
Step 8:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater and pour it into the pan. Stir until the cheese melts.
Step 9:
Toss the spaghetti in a colander and transfer to a frying pan. Mix with the sauce. Serve immediately.
I did not bring the pasta for this sauce to readiness, since, mixing with hot sauce, it still undergoes heat treatment for some time. Therefore, even if you cook spaghetti al dente, there is a risk that they will pass (overcook) already being in the sauce.
The dish turns out to be very satisfying and delicious. And, of course, high-calorie! Therefore, this recipe is not suitable for those who are on a diet.
The taste of the sauce is cheesy, pronounced. Here, of course, everything will depend on the taste of the cheese itself. If you choose a sharp hard cheese, then the sauce will be more saturated. And if you use young cream cheese, the sauce will turn out more tender.
I used tilsiter, but it's a matter of taste here.
So, go ahead and experiment!
Bon appetit!
