Cheese Stir-Ins

Soft cheeses make sauces wonderfully creamy and rich. And because they melt quickly, you can incorporate them easily into pestos, marinaras, and puttanescas to give plain noodles a smooth, flavorful coating. Crumble or chop the cheese before adding it to a dish, a couple of tablespoons at a time, tasting as you go.
Examples: Ricotta, blue cheese, Feta, fresh goat cheese.
