Method

  1. Cook the trofie in a large pot, draining them while they are still al dente. In another pot, heat the milk with the Gruyère, provola, and fontina, stirring until they are completely melted. Now add the trofie, Parmigiano, and nutmeg and stir well. Add the smoked salmon, cut into small pieces beforehand.
  2. Stir the Four-Cheese Pasta with Salmon over the heat for 5 minutes until creamy, and if the sauce starts to dry out, add a tablespoon of the pasta cooking water. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
