DOP Tallegio Sauce
July 29 2024 – Mitchell Owen
Taleggio is a soft and cream cheese that has roots back to the 10th century! It can be quite pungent due to the washed rind, but it makes an excellent cheese sauce. It melts really well, and we love it with pasta!

Sauce
This sauce comes together really easily and is perfect with any pasta! Don't let the pungency of the Taleggio fool you. This sauce is super good and balanced well with a squeeze of lemon.
Ingredients
- 20-30 grams DOP Taleggio
- 20-30 grams fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Squeeze of Half a Lemon
- Pasta Water!
- Zelli Pasta (we love spaghetti here, but rigatoni would be great!)
Directions
While your pasta is boiling, ladle ¼ cup of pasta water into a hot pan. Then add the taleggio and spread around so that the cheese melts.
Continue to add more water if the sauce is looking dry.
At this point you can add the Zelli Pasta to the sauce.
Squeeze the lemon and add the Parmigiano Reggiano. Ladle more pasta water if the sauce is looking too thick.
Marry the pasta with the sauce! The sauce should be creamy and incorporated with the pasta. If it is too thick, add a couple tbsp of pasta water.
Plate immediately, and top with some Parmigiano Reggiano!
