How To Make three cheese hazelnut pasta

  • 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • 2
    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, saute shallot for about 2 minutes; set aside.
  • 3
    In a medium saucepan, combine cream, wine, chicken stock, shallots and any residual butter. Cook over medium heat until it reduces a bit and begins to thicken, but bear in mind you still are going to be adding the cheeses.
  • 4
    Whisk in the cheeses and heat until they melt and you've got a smooth sauce. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and toss to coat. Fold in half the hazelnuts. Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or bowl and top with the remaining hazelnuts and serve.
