This recipe is perfect for a dinner party! A couple of months ago, I saw a video on Facebook of an eatery in Italy serving pasta tableside out of a cheese wheel. I have been obsessed with making this ever since. The how-to video & full recipe is below. Enjoy!
PASTA in a CHEESE WHEEL Recipe
Ingredients:
-8.8-ounce Fettuccine Pasta (Note: Or your favorite style pasta.)
-1 tbs Garlic Cloves (chopped)

*Chisel the middle of the cheese wheel with a pairing knife. Place extra cheese on the side and save.
*Boil pasta for 6 to 7 minutes in a large pan. Drain well and set aside in a nonstick large pan and drizzle a little olive oil & mix so the pasta will not stick.
