Ricoprovogoat Cheese Sauce


Ok, we call this an Italian Sauce because it generally goes over Italian noodles. However, it's not very traditional, but it is exceptional.

Ingredients:

1 Onion (Chopped)
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil (don't skimp, use the good stuff)
5 Cloves Garlic (Chopped)
2 pinches fleur de sel
1 Tbsp. butter
2 c. milk
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. white pepper
2 slices of Provalone
3 heaping Tbsp. Ricotta
1/5 lb. hard goat cheese


Steps:
1. In a frying pay, cook onion for 3 minutes on high in preheated oil
2. Add garlic and sel for a couple minutes
3. Add butter, stir well until butter is melted
4. Add milk, sugar, and pepper. Bring to a near boil
5. Reduce heat. Add all cheeses, and stir frequently to ensure a good even melting
6. Pour over your choice of pasta.

Recommendations:

This is fantastic over Gnocchi.
It is good with chicken or spicy sausage to give it a juxtaposition.
It's not very good with beef or pork or meatballs.
If you want a non-pasta dish its really good with pan seared chicken.

Take the chicken and put it on your plate. Then put some pan fried walnuts (fry them in a bit of olive oil) on top of the chicken, then add sliced pear over the walnuts and drip the sauce over the chicken. Wow. Good stuff.
