Creamy Four Cheese Garlic Spaghetti

There’s something truly magical about a dish that brings everyone to the table, even on the busiest of weeknights. That’s exactly what this creamy four-cheese garlic spaghetti does in my home. I first whipped this up on a chilly evening when I wanted something warm, comforting, and a bit indulgent without spending hours in the kitchen. Just a few ingredients, a single pan, and less than half an hour later, I had a piping-hot pot of creamy, cheesy pasta that filled the house with the scent of garlic and melted cheese.

What I love most about this recipe is how it combines the smooth, rich flavor of four different cheeses with a light hint of garlic. It’s the perfect mix of flavors that doesn’t overpower but leaves you craving just one more bite. My kids eagerly dig in, and even my husband, who can be picky about pasta dishes, calls this one his “midweek luxury.”

It’s these little moments that make cooking feel less like a chore and more like a way to show love. If you’re like me, juggling daily chaos and still wanting to give your family something special, I think you’ll adore this recipe. With its velvety sauce coating every strand of spaghetti, it’s comfort food at its best, and I’m excited to share it with you!

Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe:

Can I use different types of pasta?
Absolutely! While spaghetti works beautifully, feel free to substitute it with fettuccine, linguine, or even penne. Just adjust the cooking time slightly.

Can I add some protein?
Yes, this dish pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, shrimp, or even crispy bacon bits. Just toss them in after the pasta is fully cooked for a hearty twist.

Is there a non-dairy option?
Yes, you can try dairy-free cheese and a plant-based cream substitute. It won’t be quite as rich, but the flavors will still come through deliciously.

How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of milk to restore the creamy texture.

What You Need to Make Creamy Four-Cheese Garlic Spaghetti:

Ingredients:

1 lb spaghetti

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan

1 cup shredded mozzarella

½ cup crumbled blue cheese

½ cup shredded Gruyère

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Tools:

Large skillet or pot

Tongs or a large spoon

Grater (for fresh cheese if desired)

How to Make It:

Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Garlic: In the same pot or a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the garlic, stirring continuously. Let it simmer gently for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Add the Cheeses: Slowly whisk in the Parmesan, mozzarella, blue cheese, and Gruyère. Continue stirring until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Combine and Serve: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing until the pasta is fully coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Tips:

Use Freshly Grated Cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts better and offers a smoother, richer sauce. It’s worth the extra effort!

Control the Heat: Cheese sauces can be sensitive to high heat, so keep your burner on low when melting the cheese to prevent it from becoming grainy.

Make it Spicy: For a little kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers.

Thin the Sauce if Needed: If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of milk or reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
