Cream-free cheese sauce pasta is a quick breakfast dish made by using the starch in the pasta water to turn kaşar cheese into a smooth sauce without any added richness. Melting the cheese at the right temperature is what keeps the sauce from clumping and lets it stay a proper emulsion. With no added sweetener in its savoury base, it's a diabetes-friendly breakfast option.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the pasta

10 min

Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente, ladling out a cup of the cooking water before draining.

2

Make the sauce

5 min

Take the pan off the heat and add the butter and grated kaşar, whisking in the reserved pasta water a little at a time.

3

Toss and serve

2 min

Toss the drained pasta with the sauce, sprinkle with black pepper and serve hot.

Reminder

Add the cheese to the pan once it's off the heat; cheese melted over boiling liquid splits and clumps. Allergens: contains gluten (pasta) and milk and dairy (kaşar cheese).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a pinch of black pepper brings the sauce closer to the sharp flavour of the Italian cacio e pepe technique.

Makarnayı 10 dakika yerine sadece 8 dakikada aceleyle süzdüm çünkü sosla birlikte biraz daha pişeceğini düşünmüştüm, kıvamı beklediğimden biraz daha sert ve fazlasıyla diri kaldı.

Peyniri kaynayan tavanın hemen üzerinde erittim ve sos ilk denememde hemen çirkin bir şekilde topaklandı, ama tavayı ocaktan alıp eklediğimde gerçekten pürüzsüz bir emülsiyon oluştuğunu gördüm.
