MASCARPONE
Mascarpone cheese is great, but can be hard to find. Here's a simple recipe that you can use at home to make mascarpone. It isn't 100 percent authentic (authentic recipes use a bacterial culture), but it doesn't require any hard to find ingredients, either!

Steps:
- Pour cream into a metal bowl, and place over a pan of simmering water. Heat until warm. Stir in the cream of tartar, and continue to heat and stir until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Remove from the heat.
- Line a colander or strainer with cheesecloth, and place over a bowl. Paper towels also seem to work well. Pour the mixture into the strainer, and let it drain for several hours, or overnight in the refrigerator. Spoon the resulting cheese into a clean container and use within one week. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat and stir in the onion. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Raise the heat slightly and add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and yellow squash and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Cook the pasta in a large kettle of boiling salted water for 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water.
- Heat the butter in a medium-size heavy saucepan over moderate to moderately high heat until it becomes a medium nutty brown, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the flour, rosemary, sage and bay leaf. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until sauce is very thick--the consistency of sour cream. Strain the sauce and season well with salt and pepper. Cool slightly.
- Return the pasta to the same large kettle and stir in the sauce. Add the vegetables and 1 cup grated fontina and blend completely. Place the mixture in a deep earthenware or glass baking dish (about 9 inches by 13 inches by 2 inches). Sprinkle with the remaining fontina. Bake for 20 minutes, until the pasta is brown and crunchy on top.
FONTINA & PARMESAN MAC AND CHEESE
There's something amazingly special about creamy, rich, melty, cheese. The kind that makes you smile upon entering your mouth, the kind that you dream about when you think about macaroni and cheese. The marriage between cheese {and not just any kind of cheese} and noodles in this dish is heaven. I am known as a macaroni and cheese freak but this recipe puts my love for this comfort-food-beauty on a whole new level. And not to mention this does not come from a box, there is no velveeta block involved...and it is not waste line conscious. Relish in the goodness of cheese my little foodies :) This recipe is adapted from my own macaroni and cheese trial-and-error and Annie's Eat's inspiration with Fontina cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to broil (high or low, depending on your oven intensity). Heat a large pot of water until boiling, add salt to boiling water until it's "salty like the sea". Cook the pasta till al dente, and drain.
- Melt 4-5 tablespoons of butter over medium low heat until melted and add heavy cream. Warm cream until heated through, do not boil the cream. Add the spices and seasonings to taste, but remember to not over salt as the parmesan cheese is slightly salted. Remove from heat and all of the fontina cheese and 1/2 cup parmesan, stir until combined.
- Pour the cheese sauce into the pasta and mix until well combined. Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter and mix with Panko, remaining Parmesan cheese, parsley, and a pinch of garlic salt if you'd like.
- Transfer pasta and cheese mixture to a baking dish, top with Panko mixture and broil until bubbly and toasty on top. Serve immediately.

FONTINA AND MASCARPONE MAC N" CHEESE
Mac n" Cheese made different in that it uses Fontina and Marscarpone cheese. I have adapted this recipe which was loosley based on a recipe from Cooking Light. Since I always have Marscarpone floating around, it was a given that I would try this recipe. The soft fontina problem can be solved easily by placing the fontina in the freezer for a half hour. Fontina definately comes from the smelly cheese family . Some options: You can add more nutmeg and tabasco for more of a kick...add some parmesan cheese for part of the other cheese....adding some ham. I always seem to have whipping cream or half and half around...I would finish this up and top it with the 1% milk. (definately takes the recipe out of the "light" catagory!!) Marscarpone cheese too expensive? Try Recipe #66077. I always cook my pasta using Recipe #30358.
