The Classic Italian Cheese Sauce

Formaggi is a type of Italian cheese-based sauce popularly used in pasta. It derives its name from an Italian word for cheese. It comes in many different forms, with individual chefs coming up with their own recipes; some formaggi will feature only one variety of cheese, while others will feature a mixture. One popular choice is the quattro formaggi, wherein four different hard and soft cheeses are combined so as to achieve a rich variety of textures and flavors.

You can experience the taste of formaggi at our Italian restaurant in Bothell on our heirloom tomato formaggi sandwich. Try this hearty classic at Amaro Bistro today!
